Kaumualiʻi (c. 1778–May 26, 1824) was the last independent aliʻi nui of Kauaʻi and Niʻihau before becoming the vassal of Kamehameha I within the unified Hawaiian Kingdom in 1810. He was the 23rd high chief of Kauaʻi and reigned from 1794 to 1810.

Although he was sometimes known as George Kaumualiʻi, he should not be confused with his son, who is more commonly known by that name.

In Hanamāʻulu, Hawaii, King Kaumuali'i Elementary School is named after him.
