Nui is one of the 9 "districts" (3 of them consist of 1 isle, 6 are atolls with several isles) of the Oceanian realm of Tuvalu. It has a population (2002 census) of 548.

Nui consists of at least 21 islets. These are:

  • Fenua Tapu (isle)
  • Meang
  • Motupuakaka
  • Pakantou
  • Piliaieve
  • Pongalei
  • Talalolae
  • Tokinivae
  • Unimai
  • and at least 12 other islands

The biggest, most southern and most eastern island is Fenua Tapu, which is followed by Meang (most western isle), Tokinivae, Pongalei, Talalolae, Pakantou, Unimai, Piliaieve and Motupuakaka. There is at least one island inhabited, which is Fenua Tapu, where the village is with the neighbourhoods of Fenua Tapu and Tanrake.

The people of Nui speak Gilbertese, the language of Kiribati and Tuvaluan, the official language of Tuvalu, because the ancestors of Nui came from Kiribati.
