Maiao is an 8.8 km² (3.4 sq. mi.) island formation located around 78 km (48.5 miles) southwest of Moorea and is one of the Winward Islands (Îles du Vent) in French Polynesia.

The island formation consists of one high island with a peak elevation of 154 meters (505') and a low island (or motu) that winds along the base of the high island. The formation encloses two hypersaline endorheic lagoons called Roto Iti and Roto Rahi. There is also a lagoon at its edge.
All lagoons are connected through narrow channels.

The island was home to around 299 people (as of Aug. 2007 census).
