Sala Vaimili Uili II is a Samoan politician and former Cabinet Minister.

He ran as a candidate for the Tautua Samoa Party at the 2011 election.[3]

In May 2016 he was banished from the village of Leauva’a alongside two election candidates after supporting an election petition against incumbent MP Sala Fata Pinati.[4][5]
