Moʻale Finau (born February 10, 1960[1]) is a Tongan politician and Member of the Legislative Assembly of Tonga.

He is a member of the Democratic Party of the Friendly Islands.

Finau has a Master of Arts degree in Geography and a Certificate in Law.[1] He worked as a teacher, businessman and leadership training officer before entering politics.[1] He stood unsuccessfully as an independent for the seat of Haʻapai in both the 2005[2] and 2008[3] general elections. In the 2010 general election he stood in the new Haʻapai 12 constituency for the Democratic Party of the Friendly Islands, and was elected with 31.9% of the vote.[4] He lost the seat by 4 votes in the 2014 election.

In February 2015, Finau was appointed Governor of Ha'apai.[5] In May 2016 he was charged with careless driving after injuring a man while driving in Tongatapu.[6] In September 2017 the Auditor-General found that he had unlawfully spent T$150,000 from a community development fund on his own projects.[7]

He was re-elected to the Legislative Assembly in the 2017 Tongan general election. He lost his seat again in the 2021 Tongan general election.[8] He was re-elected in the 2022 Ha’apai 12 by-election.[9][10]
