Manu'alesagalala Enokati Posala is a Samoan politician and former Cabinet minister. He is a member of the Human Rights Protection Party.

Manu'alesagalala stood unsuccessfully in the 2010 Safata by-election.[1] He was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of Samoa in the 2011 Samoan general election and appointed Minister of Works, Transport and Infrastructure.[2] Shortly after being elected, he was accused of bribery in an election petition[3] but the petition was later dropped.[4]

In the 2016 election, the two-member seat of Safata was divided into two single-seat constituencies. Manu'alesagalala ran against the opposition leader and fellow incumbent Palusalue Faʻapo II for Safata West,[5] but both were defeated by Leaana Ronnie Posini.[6]
