Vaisigano, Political district in western Savai'i, Samoa

Vaisigano extends across the western section of Savai'i island, encompassing multiple villages with Asau serving as its administrative capital.

The district gained national prominence when Va'ai Kolone from Vaisala village became Prime Minister of Samoa during the 1980s and established the Human Rights Protection Party.

The district maintains strong connections to traditional Samoan governance through its association with the Tonumaipe'a chiefly title and the national Tui A'ana title.

According to the 2016 census data, Vaisigano district houses 6,543 residents across several villages including Auala, Avata, Fagasa, and Falealupo.

The village of Auala within Vaisigano features a dedicated conservation area for turtle protection, while Falealupo contains a significant rainforest reserve.
