Princess Mele Siuilikutapu of Tonga (12 May 1948 – 28 May 2023) was a Tongan royal and politician.
Siu’ilikutapu was born in May 1948, the oldest daughter of Prince Fatafehi Tuʻipelehake and his wife Melenaite Tupoumoheofo Veikune.
She attended the University of Auckland, where in October 1969 she married Josh Liava'a, a policeman.
As a result, King Tāufaʻāhau Tupou IV had her returned to Tonga and annulled the marriage.
The following year she married Kalanivalu-Fotofili, a noble.
In 1975 she was elected to the Legislative Assembly, becoming its first female member.

In 2018 she became patron of the Tonga Health Society Langimalie Clinic and she also served as patron of Tonga’s first village council, the Lapaha Council.
She lived in Auckland, New Zealand in later life and advocated for the rights of overstayers and disadvantaged Pasifika.
In 2021, when Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern made a formal apology on behalf of the New Zealand Government for the Dawn Raids of the 1970s, Siuʻilikutapu gave the speech to accept the apology on behalf of the Pasifika community.
