The Aleipata Islands are a group of four uninhabited islands off the eastern end of Upolu Island, Samoa, in the central South Pacific, formed as eroded volcanic tuff rings. A smaller northern pair sits on Upolu's barrier reef and a larger southern pair lies beyond it, together covering about 1.7 square kilometers. Administratively part of the Atua district, the islands are important to Samoa's biodiversity and are protected within the Aleipata Marine Protected Area.
