Futiga (Samoan: Fūtiga, pronounced "Futinga") is a village in the southwest of Tutuila Island, American Samoa. It is located inland, 7 miles (11 km) southwest of Pago Pago, between the villages of 'Ili'ili and Puapua. It is in Tualatai County.
Futiga is home of the Fagatele Bay Site, an archeological site which was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
Futiga is the southernmost town in the United States (because it includes Steps Point)[1][2] — Rose Atoll is further south, but Rose Atoll is uninhabited.[3]
