Nuʻulopa is a small, uninhabited island in the Apolima Strait between the islands of Upolu and Savaiʻi in Samoa. The island is part of the Aiga-i-le-Tai district.

Nuʻulopa is about 50m above sea level. It is a small, forested, rocky outcrop with coconut palms (Cocos nucifera) and a conservation area for flying foxes. The surrounding sea is a conservation area for turtles.[1]

Nu'ulopa sits between two other islands, Apolima and Manono. Those three islands lie on an underwater ridge that runs between the two main Samoan islands of Upolu and Savai'i.

Nu'ulopa has traditionally been used as a cemetery for the high chiefs (matai) of Manono.
