Tu’i Vukinavanua (pronunciation: ()) was a Fijian High Chief of the island of Nayau.〔''The Fiji journals of Baron Anatole von Hügel'', 1875-1877〕〔''Neither Cargo Nor Cult: Ritual Politics and the Colonial Imagination in Fiji'' by Martha Kaplan. Durham; London: Duke University Press, 1995.〕〔''Bulletin of the Fiji Museum'', volume 1-2. 1973.〕 It is likely that Vukinavanua was born on Nayau. His father was High Chief Maseikula of Nayau, who was a son of Lord Buivaroro and Lady Tarau.〔''Mai kea ki vei?: stories of Methodism in Fiji and Rotuma, 1835-1995: proceedings of the Fiji Methodist History Conference'', Davuilevu, 10–13 October 1995. Written by Andrew Thornley.〕 Vukinavanua’s mother was a noble lady. Her name is not known. Vukinavanua had a brother named Vakaoti, who was ''Sau Mai''. He lived on Nayau. After Maseikula died, Vukinavanua became the ruler of Nayau.〔''The Fiji Journals of Baron Anatole Von Hugel 1875-1877''. Roth, Jane and Steven Hooper (eds.), Suva: Fiji Museum in association with Cambridge University Museum of Archaeology, 1990.〕 He had at least one wife and three children – Lady Lebaidrani, Lady Cabata and Prince Ravonoloa. Chief Niumataiwalu of Lakeba sent emissaries to escort his cousin Vukinavanua to Lakeba. Vukinavanua felt too old and weak to undertake the venture and instead sent the ''katonisau'' (basket containing the Nayau chiefly regalia) which remained with Niumataiwalu’s branch. This gesture is significant as it suggests a symbolic transference of Vukinavanua’s rights to Niumatawalu’s family. Vukinavanua was thus succeeded by Niumataiwalu’s son, Rasolo.〔''Tovata I & II'' by A.C. Reid.
