Te Roto (Māori for "The Lake") is a small settlement on Chatham Island, in New Zealand's Chatham Islands group. It is located close to the northern end of Petre Bay, 12 kilometres north of Waitangi. A small lake of the same name is located nearby.

A notable rock formation of columnar basalt can be seen at Ohira Bay, 4 km to the west of Te Roto, on the coast close to the Te Roto-Port Hutt road.
