Fatausi is a village on the north east coast of Savai'i Island in the Independant State of Samoa.

This small village sits between the villages of Fogapoa to the north and the larger village of Fusi to the south. These three villages and the village of Tuasivi further north together form the traditional sub-district of Safotulafai, an area of historical, cultural and political significance in Samoa's history. Notably it was the area which the 'Mau a Pule' resistance movement against colonial rule orginated, which later evolved into the National Mau movement - leaders in achieving Samoa's political independance in 1962.

Safotulafai is also the capital of the Fa'asaleleaga political district, a major Malietoa area.
