Rarotonga was a Mexican comic book series in the Lágrimas, Risas y Amor comics published by EDAR which appeared between 1951 and 1998. The main character of the comic series was Rarotonga, a jungle queen of an island of the same name who occupied her days dancing and romancing travelers. Within the publication were tears, laughter and love, and dedicated to mostly romantic-themed storylines.

In 1978 a Mexican film of the same name directed by Raúl Ramírez was made using material from the comic.[1] In 1992, the Mexican band Café Tacuba wrote a song called "Rarotonga" about the comic.
