Codfish Island or Whenua Hou is a small island located to the west of Stewart Island/Rakiura in southern New Zealand. It reaches a height of 250 m close to the south coast.
The English name "Codfish Island" refers to the endemic blue cod or rawaru / pakirikiri, which is fished commercially in surrounding waters by trapping in baited pots. The Māori-language name "Whenua Hou" means "new land". Codfish Island is home to Sirocco, an internationally famous kakapo, a rare species of parrot.
