Asiata Alaelua Vaʻalepa Saleʻimoa Vaʻai (25 May 1945 – 2 September 2010) was a Samoan politician and lawyer. He was a Member of Parliament for the territorial constituency of Satupaʻitea and served as leader of the Samoan United Independents Political Party and the Samoan Democratic United Party.
Asiata was the son of former Prime Minister Vaʻai Kolone and the brother of Tautua Samoa MP Vaʻai Papu Vailupe. He worked as a barrister in Samoa and New Zealand before working for the Pacific Islands Forum secretariat in Suva, Fiji.
