Auapaʻau Mulipola Aloitafua is a Samoan politician who has served as the speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Samoa since 2025. He is a member of the Faʻatuatua i le Atua Samoa ua Tasi (FAST) party.
Aloitafua was educated at Avele College and worked at the Post Office and Polynesian Airlines before running a consultancy service for the Land and Titles Court. He was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of Samoa in the 2021 Samoan general election. On 22 May 2021 he was nominated by FAST as Deputy Speaker. On 24 May he was sworn in during an ad-hoc ceremony after being locked out of Parliament. The appointment was disputed by the caretaker government. On 23 July 2021 the Court of Appeal ruled that the swearing-in ceremony was constitutional and binding, and that FAST had been the government since 24 May.
He was re-elected at the 2025 Samoan general election. Aloitafua became speaker of the Legislative Assembly on 16 September.
