Sapapalii is a village near the southeast coast of Savaii island in Samoa. It is the village where John Williams, the first missionary to bring Christianity to Samoa, landed in 1830. Sapapali'i is in the Fa'asaleleaga political district and has a population of 896.
Sapapalii became the second Malietoa base in the district in 1750 when Malietoa Tia married a woman from the village. Their son Malietoa Fitisemanu was the father of Malietoa Vaiinupo who received Williams in 1830.
