Der Begriff Poupou, manchmal verkürzt auch nur Pou geschrieben, hat in der Kultur der Māori in Neuseeland verschiedene Bedeutungen, wobei in westlichen Kulturen zumeist darunter aus Holz geschnitzte Wandfiguren, Vertäfelungen oder Pfosten verstanden werden, die als Wandschmuck in und als Hausschmuck vor den Wharenui (Versammlungshäuser) mit mythologischem Bezug Verwendung finden.

A poupou is a wall panel located underneath the veranda of a Māori wharenui (meeting house). It is generally built to represent the spiritual connection between the tribe and their ancestors and thus each poupou is carved with emblems of the tohunga whakairo’s (carver's) particular lineage. The poupou may also be decorated with representations of the tribe's ancestral history, legends and migration stories to New Zealand. As such each wharenui, and by extension the poupou, are thus treated with the utmost respect, as if it were an ancestor.
