Mount Tongariro is a volcanic mountain complex in the North Island of New Zealand. It is located 20 kilometres to the southwest of Lake Taupo, and is the northernmost of the three active volcanoes that dominate the landscape of the central North Island.

The volcano, often simply referred to as Tongariro, has a height of 1978 metres. It first erupted about 260,000 years ago, and has erupted as recently as 1977. The volcano consists of at least 12 cones; Ngauruhoe, while often regarded as a separate mountain, is geologically a vent of Tongariro. Red Crater last erupted ash in 1926 and contains active fumaroles.
