The hei-tiki (/heɪˈtɪki/) is an ornamental pendant of the Māori of New Zealand. Hei-tiki are usually made of pounamu (greenstone), and are considered a taonga (treasure) by Māori. They are commonly called tiki by New Zealanders, a term that originally refers to large human figures carved in wood and to the small wooden carvings used to mark sacred places. (The word hei in Māori can mean "to wear around the neck".) Retailers sell tourist versions of hei-tiki throughout New Zealand—these can be made from jade, other types of stone, plastic, or other materials.

La magia de un hei tiki se va incrementando a medida que pasa de una generación a otra y, en especial, si ha pertenecido a alguien de prestigio. Para algunos, el hei tiki sirve de protección contra los vengativos espíritus de los niños nacidos muertos mientras que otros sostienen que no es más que una representación de Tiki, dios polinesio creador de la vida.
