Kalama Hakaleleponi Kapakuhaili, Queen Consort of Hawaiʻi (1817–1870) reigned as Queen Consort of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi alonside her husband, Kauikeaouli, who reigned as Kamehameha III.
Though charged with the title of Queen Consort, she was overshadowed by the great authority wielded by her mother-in-law, Kaʻahumanu, and sister-in-law, Kīnaʻu, both having the authority of Queen Regent because Kamehameha III had come to power only at the age of ten.
