Nikola Matawalu (born 8 March 1989) is a Fijian rugby union footballer. He plays in the scrumhalf position. In May 2010 he was selected to represent Fiji in their 2010 tour to Australia.

Niko joined Pro 12 side Glasgow Warriors for the start of the 2012–13 season on a one-year contract. He impressed during his first season, scoring 9 tries in 22 appearances, and was awarded with a contract extension to keep him at the Glasgow club until 2015.[1] In December 2014, it was announced that he would join English Premiership outfit Bath Rugby for the 2015-16 campaign.[2]

He signed for Exeter Chiefs after he did not get any games with Bath in 2017 but after joining the Chiefs, they did not give him any games either and he was dropped at the end of the 2016–17 English Premiership season.
