Taupō (Māori pronunciation: [ˈtoʊpɔː]), sometimes written Taupo, is a town on the north-eastern shore of Lake Taupō, New Zealand's largest lake, in the central North Island. It is the largest urban area of the Taupo District, and the second-largest urban area in the Waikato region, behind Hamilton. It has a population of 26,000 (June 2021). Taupō was constituted as a borough in 1953. It has been the seat of Taupo District Council since the council was formed in 1989.

The name Taupō is from the Māori language and is a shortened version of Taupō-nui-a-Tia. The longer name was first given to the cliff at Pākā Bay, on the eastern shore of the lake, and means the "great cloak of Tia". It was named for Tia, the Māori explorer who discovered the lake. Māori later applied the name to the lake itself. In 2019 the official name of the town was changed from Taupo to Taupō.
