Mount Fito (Mauga Fito) is the second-highest mountain on the island of Upolu in Samoa.[2] It is located in the O Le Pupu-Puʿe National Park in the Atua district and has a height of 1149m.[1] Fito was long-believed to be Upolu's highest point,[3] but a visit by the Samoa Conservation Society in 2022 determined it to be the second-highest, just 10m shorter than nearby Mount Vaivai.[2]

In 1978 a Cessna aircraft operated by South Pacific Island Airways crashed into the mountain, killing all 11 people on board.[4]
