Whairepo Lagoon is an open public area at the centre of Wellington, New Zealand. It is a small lagoon filled with sea water and connected to Wellington Harbour through a narrow channel. It is surrounded by The Boat Shed, City-to-Sea bridge, and the Wellington Rowing and Star Boating Club buildings.

On 17 December 2015 the lagoon was officially named Whairepo Lagoon, as it previously had no official name.[1] The lagoon was previously referred to as Frank Kitts Lagoon, Frank Kitts Park Lagoon, The Lagoon and Aotea Lagoon.
