This was announced by the French Polynesian president Edourad Fritch on Tahiti Nui TV.
He said Mr Macron would come to Tahiti for the meeting of the European Union's Overseas Countries and Territories Association (OCTA).
The date was yet to be decided but it would be in either February of March, Mr Fritch said.
OCTA has 22 members and is currently chaired by the premier of the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Last week, Mr Macron made his first visit to the Pacific, spending three days in New Caledonia.
