Fenuapeho (c. 1773–1831), also known as Upaupa, was a prominent chief of the island of Taha'a. He served as regent for the young Teri'inohorai, later known as Tapoa II, the grandson of Chief Tapoa I, during a period of significant political and religious transformation in the Society Islands. In April 1831, Fenuapeho undertook a voyage to Bora Bora, but was tragically lost at sea during his return to Taha'a..
