Taravai is the second largest island in the Gambier Islands of French Polynesia, at 5.7 km². Taravai is about 1.5 km southwest of Mangareva and about 300 m north of the island of Angakauitai. Off its eastern shore lies the tiny rock Îlot Motu-o-ari.

The village named Agonoko is located near the main bay on the island's eastern shore. It has a population of 9 ({{As of|2012|lc=y}}). Former villages were Aga-nui (northwest) and Agakau-i-uta (southeast).[2]

The Onemea archaeological site suggests sporadic occupation of the island around AD 950 with a possible continuous settlement since the 13th century.[3]

Before the conversion to Christianity, the king of Taravai was a vassal to the king of Rikitea in Mangareva.[4]
