Kalehenui was a northern Hawaiian chief. The second son of Maweke and brother of Mulielealii and Keaunui. He was of the Nanaulu line being lineal descendant of Nanaulu, the brother of Ulu, from whom the southern chiefs claim their descent.

The Kalehenui family appear to have chiefly resided on the Koolau side of the island of Oahu. Nothing very remarkable is related of the descendants of Kalehenui during this early period, except that tradtion infroms us that during the time of Mualani, the granddaughter of Kalehenui, while she and her husband Kaomealani lived at Kaopulolia in Kaneohe, Oahu, there arrived at the promonory of Mokapu, in Kaneohe aforesaid, a vessel with foreigner (haole) on board. Tradition gives the vessels's name as Ulupana and of the crew are mentioned the chief or captain, Mololana, and his wife, Malaea, and three others. Whether they remained in the country or left again is not known.
