Rukuhia
Rukuhia is a rural community in the Waipa District and Waikato region of New Zealand's North Island.

It is located just south of the Hamilton suburb of Glenview, west of the Waikato District town of Tamahere and north of the Waipa towns of Ōhaupō and Te Awamutu, on State Highway 3.

The area includes several farms on the flat between the Rukuhia Swamp and the Waikato River, and the Hamilton Airport industrial area.

"Rukuhia" translates as "gathered together, submerged or dived for".

The Rukuhia School First World War Memorial was unveiled in June 1923, on the sixth anniversary of the Battle of Messines. It is a tribute to the 22 men from Rukuhia who served in World War I, including the nine who were killed or who died of wounds, and nine others who were wounded but survived. The memorial was rededicated on Armistice Day in 2003.

The Rukuhia railway station was a station on the North Island Main Trunk in New Zealand, established during the extension of the railway line in the 1870s. Tests in 1981 found that the track deformed by about 12mm each time a train went over it, due to the peat swamp.
