Galu Taufale (born 17 March 1987) is a Samoan former international rugby union player.
Taufale was born in Samoa and moved to New Zealand as a one-year old. He grew up in Wellington's northern suburbs and attended Newlands College. A Johnsonville junior product, Taufale briefly played senior rugby for the club after finishing school, then had four seasons with the Wests Roosters.
A long-time Poneke player, Taufale broke into the Wellington provincial side in 2016 at the late age of 29 and was captain during their 2017 campaign which ended with a Mitre 10 Cup title. He won a Samoa call up for their 2017 mid-year internationals, debuting as an openside flanker in a home Test against Wales, then playing twice at the Pacific Nations Cup, against Tonga in Nuku'alofa and Fiji in Apia.
