Mālietoa (Samoan pronunciation: [maːɾiɛˈto.a] Mālietoa) is a state dynasty and one of the four paramount chiefly titles of Samoa. It is the titular head of one of the two great royal families of Samoa: Sā Malietoa. Literally translated as "great warrior", the title's origin comes from the final words of the Tongan warriors as they were fleeing on the beach to their boats, "Malie To`a, Malo e tau..." ("Great warrior, thank you for the war).
The title is currently held by HH Malietoa Faamausili Molī and HH Malietoa Bob Ainuu Afamasaga, holders and co-heirs of the title since 16 August 2018 per Court Decision.
