Wangetti is a town and a locality in the Shire of Douglas, Queensland, Australia.
The Captain Cook Highway runs through the locality from south to north mostly hugging the coastline.
The land is mostly undeveloped and, apart from a small area of freehold land around the town of Wangetii, the vast majority of the locality is part of the Macalister Range National Park. There is no public access to the national park because it is an important cassowary habitat and part of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area.
Hartley's Crocodile Adventures is a zoo and farm featuring crocodiles and other Australian animals. They were the first place in Australian to breed crocodiles.
