Teriʻitariʻa I (c. 1765–1793) was the king of the islands of Huahine and Maia'o at the end of the 18th century. He was encountered by the naturalists Johann Reinhold Forster and his son Georg Forster in 1773 and mentioned by Captain James Cook in 1777. Teriitaria's father died in a battle against Puni, the chief of Bora Bora, and his regency was then assumed by Chief Ori. In 1791, the writings of James Morrison mention Tenania as Teriitaria's brother, which has led to differing interpretations regarding the identities of the individuals cited. The transfer of power from Teriitaria I to Mato's sons, Tenania and Mahine, is believed to have occurred after the Battle of Hooroto in the 1780s, during which Mato and his father-in-law Moohono were killed. The genealogies recorded by Mare and Teuira Henry provide further details on Teriitaria's familial connections to the Tamatoa lineage of Raiatea. Teriitaria I had already faded from memory well before the 1800s. His mother, Tehaapapa I, continued to play an influential role on the island of Huahine, both as a district chief and as regent for her grandchildren from her daughter Turaiarii's marriage to Chief Tamatoa III of Raiatea. She died on July 25, 1810, on her native island of Huahine.
