Susana Leiato Lutali, also spelled Susana Le'iato Lutali, (May 23, 1932 – June 15, 2012) was an American Samoan educator and politician. She served as the First Lady of American Samoa from 1985 to 1989 and 1993 until 1997 during the tenure of her husband, former Governor A. P. Lutali. She held the matai title of Maeata'anoa from her home village of Fagaʻitua.[1]

Lutlai was known for her beautification and landscaping initiatives along public roads across American Samoa during her two tenures as first lady.[1] Many of the roadside, ornamental trees, bushes and shrubs which still line major streets in American Samoa were planted by Lutali and her public beautification programs.[1]
