Aunu'u is a small volcanic island on the south-east of American Samoa in the South Pacific Ocean. It has a land area of convert|374.83|acre|sqmi km2|2 and a 2000 census population of 476 persons. Politically it is a part of the Eastern District, one of the primary divisions of American Samoa.

Faimulivai Marsh is a freshwater marsh in Aunu'u Crater and the largest such wetland in American Samoa. It was formed from drainage of the low-lying crater. It is part of a protected National Natural Landmark on Aunu'u which was designated in 1972. The Pacific Black Duck was seen in the marsh in 1976, but it may now be extinct in the region; another significant local bird is the Purple Swamphen. This marsh is the only place in American Samoa that has Chinese water chestnut. ^{[http://www.unep-wcmc.org/sites/wetlands/wet_aunu.htm]}
