Tuvalu – United States relations are bilateral relations between Tuvalu and the United States.
The United States does not have a dedicated ambassador to Tuvalu. Instead, the U.S. ambassador to Fiji is also accredited to Tuvalu, handling diplomatic relations from Suva, Fiji.
Tuvalu maintains a diplomatic presence in the United States through its Permanent Mission to the United Nations, in New York City; it is headed by Tapugao Falefou, Tuvalu's Permanent Representative to the United Nations. Tuvalu's Permanent Representative to the United Nations also acts as Tuvalu's ambassador to the United States.
