Eruera Maihi Patuone (ca 1764 – 19 September 1872), was a Māori rangatira, the son of the Ngati Hao chief Tapua and his wife Te Kawehau. His exact birth year is not known, but it is estimated that he was at least 108 years old when he died.
With his father and brother he was one of the very first Māori people to have contact with Europeans when James Cook's ship visited in 1769.
