Avatiu–Ruatonga–Palmerston or RAPPA is a Cook Islands electoral division returning one member to the Cook Islands Parliament.
The electorate was created in 1981, when the Constitution Amendment (No. 9) Act 1980–1981[1] adjusted electorate boundaries and split the electorate of Te-au-o-tonga into four. It was further expanded in 1986 by the Constitution Amendment (No. 12) Act 1986.[2] It consists of the tapere of Atupa, Avatiu and Ruatonga on the island of Rarotonga, as well as Palmerston Island.
