Kaiapoi ist ein Ort auf der Südinsel Neuseelands in der Region Canterbury etwa 15 Kilometer nördlich von Christchurch und bildet mit über 10.000 Einwohnern eine der größten Siedlungen des Waimakariri-Distrikts.

Der Name Kaiapoi stammt aus der Sprache der Māori und bedeutet so viel wie "Nahrungsdepot"; so wurde eine um das Jahr 1700 von den Māori errichtete befestigte Siedlung () genannt, aus der später die heutige Ortschaft hervorging. Insbesondere von 1850 bis 1870 war Kaiapoi ein wichtiges Handelszentrum.

Neben dem Waimakariri River, der nahe der Ortschaft in den Südpazifik mündet, zieht sich noch der Kaiapoi River durch die am State Highway 1 und an der Main North Line gelegenen Stadt.
