Kūpapa (also called Queenites, from Queen Victoria, and Loyal Māori) were Māori who fought for the Government in the New Zealand Land Wars of the nineteenth century. Their motives for fighting against other Māori were often based on traditional tribal rivalry, old scores, or a pragmatic decision to benefit from the trade provided by settlers.

The term has also an occasional modern usage in a derogatory sense to describe a Māori who is seen as being on the Pākehā or Government side and acting against the interests of Māori.
