The Ohinemuri River is located in the northern half of New Zealand's North Island, at the base of the Coromandel Peninsula.

The river's source is north-east of the town of Waihi, close to the shore of the Bay of Plenty, but flows west rather than into the bay. It runs through the steep-sided Karangahake Gorge, forming a break between the Coromandel Range and the Kaimai Ranges. After 28 kilometres (17 mi), it joins the Waihou River near the town of Paeroa, 20 kilometres (12 mi) south of the Firth of Thames, into which the Waihou River empties.
