Terence Jethro Wayne Ngaluafe (born 13 October 1988) is a New Zealand-born Tongan former rugby union player.

Born in Auckland, Ngaluafe was a New Zealand under-19s representative halfback and played in the side that won the 2007 Under 19 Rugby World Championship, before switching his allegiance.[1]

Ngaluafe, an Auckland and Northland provincial player, made two appearances for the Blues, both off the bench. He debuted in their match against France in 2013, as a second-half replacement for Jamison Gibson-Park, then a month later got flown over to Bloemfontein when Piri Weepu pulled out of a match against the Cheetahs.[2]

In 2016, Ngaluafe gained a cap for Tonga against Georgia in Suva.[3]

Ngaluafe played rugby for West Harbour in the Shute Shield.[4]
