Mount Fito (Mauga Fito) is the second-highest mountain on the island of Upolu in Samoa.{{cite web |url=https://www.samoaobserver.ws/category/samoa/98255 |title=Mt. Fito not the highest point in Upolu |author=Fuimaono Lumepa Hald |publisher=Samoa Observer |date=13 May 2022 |access-date=14 May 2022}} It is located in the O Le Pupu-Puʿe National Park in the Atua district and has a height of 1149m. Fito was long-believed to be Upolu's highest point,{{cite news |url=https://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-681770136/view?sectionId=nla.obj-697491716 |title=Back to the jungle |work=The bulletin |volume=78 |issue=4054 |page=19 |date=23 October 1957 |access-date=5 August 2021}} but a visit by the Samoa Conservation Society in 2022 determined it to be the second-highest, just 10m shorter than nearby Mount Vaivai.

In 1978 a Cessna aircraft operated by South Pacific Island Airways crashed into the mountain, killing all 11 people on board.{{cite news |url=https://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-335716829/view?sectionId=nla.obj-340858500 |title=Air Crash Kills 11 In W.
