Radini Nayau is the courtesy title given to the wife or chief wife of the Tui Nayau, Paramount Chief of the Lau Islands in Fiji. The bearer of this title is installed at the same time as the Tui Nayau. In the past when polygamy was the norm and the Tui Nayau had many wives, the chief or senior wife bore this title. The last holder of this title was Ro Lady Lala Mara, who as the Roko Tui Dreketi was a Paramount Chief in her own right.
