Mualani (also called Muolani or simply Mua; lani = "heaven/sky" in Hawaiian) was a Hawaiian High Chiefess who lived on the island of Oahu and was a Princess of Koʻolau.

She was a daughter of Princess Hinakaimauliʻawa of Koʻolau,[1] who was Chief Kalehenui's daughter.[2][3][4] Mualani's father was called Kahiwakaʻapu.

Princess Mualani was of Tahitian ancestry as a descendant of the kahu (priest) Maweke who came to Oahu from Tahiti.[5]

After her mother's death, Chiefess Mualani succeeded her.
