Nuʻutele is an island that consists of a volcanic tuff ring. It lies 1.3 km off the eastern end of Upolu island, Samoa, in central South Pacific Ocean. It is the largest of the four Aleipata Islands, with an area of 1.15 km (0.44 sq mi).

Nuʻutele, together with Nuʻulua, a smaller island in the Aleipata group, are significant conservation areas for native species of bird life. Nuʻutele features steep terrain, with vertical marine cliffs up to 180 m high.

Nuʻutele is famous as a highly appreciated scenic landmark when viewed in the distance from the popular Lalomanu beach area on nearby Upolu Island, across the water.
