Apeleto "Albert" Likuvalu (born 14 November 1943) is a politician from Wallis and Futuna.

He ran as a socialist candidate in 2002, receiving 928 votes in the first round and coming third. In 2005 after an alliance between the socialists and centre-right parties he was elected President of the Territorial Assembly of Wallis and Futuna. While president, he supported the Lavelua, Tomasi Kulimoetoke II, in his dispute with the French colonial government; as a result France's overseas territories minister Francois Baroin refused to meet with him. He was replaced as president of the assembly in November 2005, and later served as leader of the opposition.
