Waipareira was a New Zealand parliamentary electorate that existed for one parliamentary term from 1996 to 1999. Located in West Auckland, it was held by Brian Neeson of the New Zealand National Party, who had narrowly beaten Labour's Chris Carter.

The 1996 election was notable for the significant change of electorate boundaries, based on the provisions of the Electoral Act 1993.^[1] Because of the introduction of the mixed-member proportional (MMP) electoral system, the number of electorates had to be reduced, leading to significant changes. More than half of the electorates contested in 1996 were newly constituted, and most of the remainder had seen significant boundary changes. In total, 73 electorates were abolished, 29 electorates were newly created (including Waipareira), and 10 electorates were recreated, giving a net loss of 34 electorates.

The electorate includes the following population centres:

• Te Atatū Peninsula
• Massey

The electorate was established in the first mixed-member proportional (MMP) election in 1996. The election was won by Brian Neeson, who had represented the Te Atatu (1990–1993) and Waitakere (1993–1996) electorates previously.^[2] Neeson narrowly defeated Labour's Chris Carter, who became an MP three years later in 1999.^[3]

The electorate was abolished after one parliamentary term for the 1999 election. Neeson transferred back to the Waitakere electorate and represented it for another term.^[2]
