Raiatea (Templat:Lang-ty, "langit putih") adalah pulau kedua terbesar selepas setelah Tahiti dalam gugusan Kepulauan Masyarakat ditadbir dalam Polinesia Perancis.

Pulau ini secara luas dianggap sebagai pusat kepulauan timur Polinesia kuno[3] yang menjadi titik mula pelayaran pertama kali ke Kepulauan Hawaii, New Zealand dan pulau-pulau lain serantau Polinesia Timur; orang Māori sendiri menganggap pulau tersebut sebagai tempat terletaknya Hawaiki iaitu tempat asal leluhur atau nenek moyang mereka.[4]
