The Firth of Thames is a large bay located in the north of New Zealand. It is the firth of the rivers Waihou and Piako, the former of which is still occasionally known by its former name of the Thames River.
The firth lies at the southern end of the Hauraki Gulf between the Coromandel Peninsula and Hunua Ranges, southeast of the city of Auckland. The Hauraki Plains are located to the south of the firth, and the town of Thames is located on its southeastern coast.
