Merata Mita (June 19, 1942 Maketu-May 31, 2010 Newmarket, New Zealand) was a New Zealand film director, actor, film producer and screenwriter.

She was the first Māori woman to write and direct a dramatic feature film, "Mauri," which premiered in 1988 at the Cannes Film Festival. Mita was also a staunch advocate for Māori and Indigenous rights, often using her films to draw attention to these issues. She co-founded the Māori production company, Merata Mita Productions, in the 1980s and produced several documentaries, including "Bastion Point: Day 507" which chronicled the Māori occupation of Bastion Point in Auckland. In addition to filmmaking, Mita taught film and television at the University of Hawaii and served as a mentor to many young Māori filmmakers. She was awarded the Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for her services to the film industry in 2007.
