Asiata Muese was a Western Samoan chief and politician. He served as a member of the Legislative Council from 1938 to 1939, and then as a member of the Legislative Assembly from 1948 to 1951.
A member of the executive committee of the Mau movement,[1] Muese was appointed to the Legislative Council in January 1939 following the November 1938 elections. However, when the Samoan membership was reorganised in August 1940, he was not reappointed.[2]
When the Legislative Council was replaced by the Legislative Assembly in 1948, he was chosen to represent Satupa'itea by the three Fautua (high chiefs).[3] He was not re-elected in 1951.
