**Maorski jezik Kukovih jezika**, poznat i kao **Māori Kūki 'Āirani** ili **Rarotonganski**, je službeni jezik Kukovih Ostrva. Većina otočana ga naziva *Te reo Ipukarea*, doslovno "jezik Domovine predaka".

Blizak je tahićanskom i novozelandskom maorskom, i govornici sva tri jezika se u mnogim situacijama mogu sporazumijevati.

Jezik regulira *kopapa reo* osnovan 2003.
