Ari'i-'Otare Teari'i-maeva-rua II (28 May 1871 - 19 November 1932) was the Ari'i-Rahi of Bora Bora from 1873 to 1932.
The third daughter of Prince Tamatoa-a-tu (Tamatoa V), Ari'i-rahi of Ra'iatea and Taha'a and Princess Moe-a-Mai, Ari'i-'Otare became the ruler of Bora Bora on the death of her aunt Princess Teari'i-maeva-rua I, Ari'i-rahi of Bora Bora. She married Prince Teri'i Hinoi-a-tua Pomare, Ari'i-rahi of Hitia'a in Bora Bora on 9 January 1884 and was divorced in 1887. Ari'i-'Otare produced no children of her own, so adopted her two younger step daughters; Princess Rehu-rehu Tuheiava and Princess Itia Tuheiava.
She was deposed by the French on 19 March 1888 but remained the head of the royal house of Bora Bora until her death.
