'''He{{okina}}eia''' ({{IPA|haw|hɛˈʔɛjə}}) is a [[census-designated place]] comprising several neighborhoods located in the [[Honolulu County, Hawaii|City & County of Honolulu]] and the Koʻolaupoko District on the island of [[Oahu|Oʻahu]] north of [[Kaneohe, Hawaii|Kāneʻohe]]. In [[Hawaiian language|Hawaiian]] the words ''heʻe ʻia'' mean "washed away", alluding to a victory achieved by the populace against others from leeward Oʻahu, aided by a [[tsunami]] that washed the combatants off the shore.{{Citation needed|date=August 2008}}

Heʻeia includes Haʻikū Valley and Heʻeia Kea.  The population was 5,001 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]]. The area is almost entirely one of homes and apartments.  Parts of Heʻeia lie along Kāneʻohe Bay, but public access is non-existent owing to private ownership of the property behind the shore.

Notable in the Heʻeia area are:
* [[Haiku Valley|Haʻikū Valley]], a former [[United States Coast Guard]] radio transmitter site with the [[Haiku Stairs]]
* Site of the former receiving antenna tower for Station HYPO, the naval cryptanalytic station that did so much toward breaking Japanese naval codes in 1941-1942 that resulted in US victory in the [[Battle of Midway]], seen by most historians as the turning point of the Pacific War. The site of their antenna was He'eia, not the site of Station HYPO itself. Station HYPO got its name from the phonetic for the letter "H", because of He'eia where its antenna was sited

'''He{{okina}}eia Kea''' is a community and small, undeveloped valley separated from Heʻeia by Heʻeia Marsh and Kealohi Point. Heʻeia Kea Small Boat Harbor, the only public pier and boat ramp on [[Kaneohe Bay|Kāneʻohe Bay]], is found here. Several fishponds have been restored in recent years.  Although fishponds were developed on most of the islands, the largest concentrations were found in Keʻehi Lagoon, [[Pearl Harbor]], and Kāneʻohe Bay on Oʻahu.

The U.S. [[ZIP code]] for Heʻeia and Heʻeia Kea is the same as for Kāneʻohe: 96744.
