Hororata is a village in the Selwyn District, New Zealand. It is situated 5 kilometers east of Glentunnel, 15 kilometers southwest of Darfield, 50 kilometers west of Christchurch and is on the banks of the Hororata River. It has a primary school which opened in 1870 and amalgamated with Te Pirita in 1963.

It is the home of the Hororata Highland Games since 2011.
