**Maseikula** (pronounced: [maseikulaː]) was a [Fijian](/source/Fiji) High Chief. He was a [Chief](/source/Tu'i) of the island of [Nayau](/source/Nayau).

Maseikula was a son of [High Chief](/source/Ratu) [Buivaroro](/source/Buivaroro) and his wife,[1] the [High Chiefess](/source/Adi_(title)) Tarau.[2] Maseikula's grandfather was [Naosara](/source/Naosara). He was a [progenitor](/source/Most_recent_common_ancestor) of a prominent Fijian [royal house](/source/Dynasty).[3] It is possible that Maseikula was born on the [island](/source/Lau_Islands) of [Lakeba](/source/Lakeba), where lived his uncle [Kalouyalewa](/source/Kalouyalewa).[4] On the other hand, he may have been born on [Nayau](/source/Nayau).

After his father died, Maseikula succeeded him.[5][6] Maseikula married an unknown woman, with whom he had two sons – Vakaoti and [Vukinavanua](/source/Vukinavanua).[7]

Vukinavanua ruled after Maseikula died, while Vakaoti had a title of *[Sau Mai](/source/Roko_Sau)*.
