Waitati is a small seaside settlement in Otago, New Zealand, within the city limits of Dunedin. It is located close to the tidal mudflats of Blueskin Bay, 19 kilometres north of the Dunedin city centre. The small Waitati River flows through the Bay to the sea.
State Highway 1 skirts the western edge of the settlement, which marks the northern limit of the stretch known as the Dunedin Northern Motorway. 3 km to the north of here the highway climbs the notorious Kilmog hill. The Main South Line railway curves from east to north through Waitati and a tourist train, the Seasider, travels through here between Dunedin and Palmerston once or twice a week. The old station yard remains as a train crossing loop and parts of the old station building are used by rail maintenance workers.
Waitati is the site of a school, a branch of the Dunedin Public Libraries, a garden centre, a cafe and a general store. There are several holiday homes.
