Alifushi () is one of the inhabited islands of Raa Atoll in the Maldives.
==History== ===Powell Islands=== Alifushi and Etthingili were named as the Powell Islands by Captain Robert Moresby after Lieutenant F.F. Powell, who assisted during the difficult survey of the Atolls of the Maldives in 1834–36. Later promoted to captain, Powell went on to survey the northwest coast of Ceylon.
