Keawe Awe'ula-o-Kalani I, Prince of Hawaii (January 1832 – February 1832) was the eldest son of Kamehameha III and his queen consort Kalama Hakaleleponi-i-Kapakuhaili. The baby boy was named after his father whose full name was Keaweawe`ula Kiwala`o Kauikeaouli Kaleiopapa Kalani Waiakua Kalanikau Iokikilo Kiwala`o i ke kapu Kamehameha. The royal suffix o-Kalani was added in to signified this Prince of Heaven.

At the time of his birth in Honolulu, Kamehameha III had not married his mother Kalama yet. His parents' marriage would not be until 14 February, 1837. The newborn Prince was illegitimidate, but illegitimacy was accepted in the early days of the monarchy, prior to the drafting of the Constitution, as it could be seen in the case of his half-uncle Prince Pauli. Other than Prince Keawe, the next in line of succession would probably be his full-blooded aunt, Princess Nahienaena.

The young Prince Keawe died only 31 days after his birth. His death left Kamehameha III again childless. His younger brother, Keawe Awe'ula-o-Kalani II, would not be born until 1839.

Keawe Awe'ula-o-Kalani I, Prince of Hawaii (circa 1839 – circa 1839) was the second son of Kamehameha III and his queen consort Kalama Hakaleleponi-i-Kapakuhaili. The baby boy was the namesake of his father and his brother aforementioned. He was the first legitimate issue of Kamehameha III, according to Western laws and ideals.

At the time of his birth in Honolulu, Kamehameha III had survived his own brother, Kamehameha II, and sister, Princess Nahienaena. The newborn Prince and his father were the only living descendants of his paternal grandfather Kiwalao of Hawaii. Their had been no heir since the death of the Prince's aunt in 1836, but there were still numerous descendants of his grandfather through his other wives.

The young boy died only six months after his birth, at Honolulu. If he had survived 6 months longer, he would have been Hawaii's first constitutional heir as the Constitution of Hawaii was signed the following year. He and his brother's deaths left Kamehameha III with no legitimate child. Their "hanai" (foster) brother, Alexander Liholiho would succeed their father as king. Although they did have twin half-brothers, Kiwalao and Kunuiakea by their father's mistress Lahilahi. Both theses Princes' death set the fate that all the Hawaiian monarchs wouldn't be succeeded by their own children.
