Nāwele (Hawaiian pronunciation: Nah-weh-leh) was a High Chief in ancient Hawaii, a ruler of the island called Oahu. He was one of the early monarchs of Oʻahu around 1290 A.D. Nāwele was a descendant of Chief Māweke.
== Family == Nāwele was a son of the Prince Kahokupohakano (also known as Ho`okupohokano) and his consort, a woman named Kaumana II, and thus a grandson of High Chief Elepuʻukahonua and his spouse Hikilena. Nāweleʻs wife was High Chiefess Kalanimoeikawaikai (Kalanimoewaiku, Kalanamowaiku, Kalanimoeikawaikaʻa). Their only known child was Nāweleʻs son and successor, Lakona of Oahu.
