Kate Wyllie (early 1840s – 4 February 1913) was a New Zealand tribal leader. She was born Kate Halbert. Of Māori descent, she identified with the Rongowhakaata iwi. She was born in Tutoko, East Coast, New Zealand.[1][2] She died in Remuera, Auckland, New Zealand. She married James Ralston Wyllie on 14 August 1854. In the early 1870s Kate and James Wyllie built a house across the Taruheru River from the Gisborne township, now known as Wyllie Cottage. After James Wyllie died she later remarried Michael Joseph Gannon (9 June 1881; known as Michael Gannon), a licensed interpreter. Gannon stood unsuccessfully for Parliament in 1881 through to 1890.
