Lanikai is a ukulele brand introduced in 2003 and distributed by KHS America (Hohner's U.S. distribution arm), based in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. The line spans entry-level instruments to professional-grade models and includes soprano, concert, tenor, baritone, 5-, 6-, and 8-string ukuleles, along with a guitalele and a series of acoustic-electric bass ukuleles launched in 2020.

The catalog is organized into series built around different tonewoods and construction styles, including the affordable LU mahogany range, the Quilted Maple series, Cedar Solid Top models, and higher-end all-solid builds. Many models are offered in both acoustic and acoustic-electric configurations with onboard preamps and tuners.

Lanikai is widely carried by large U.S. retailers such as Guitar Center and is frequently recommended alongside Kala as a go-to brand for beginner through intermediate players, while its upper-tier solid-wood instruments are aimed at gigging and studio musicians.

Lanikai has 48 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Ukuleles. Their gear is featured by 9 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Folk, World, & Country. Notable users include Rusty Cage, George "Joji" Miller, and Filthy Frank / Pink Guy. Most Lanikai products fall in the mid-tier range — professional-grade without flagship pricing.
