Ohoka is a small semi-rural township on the northern outskirts of Christchurch in New Zealand.

The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "place of the stake for a decoy parrot" for Ōhoka.^[3]

A new subdivision proposed in 2022 would add 800–850 houses, shops and a village square to Ohoka.^[4] Some residents are campaigning against the subdivision.^[5]
