Keawemaʻuhili (1710–1790) was an important member of the Hawaiian nobility at the time of the founding of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
[2] He first married Ululani, the Aliʻi Nui of Hilo, and then Kekikipaʻa,[citation needed] the daughter of Kameʻeiamoku and former wife of Kamehameha I.
He joined with his nephew Keōua Kūʻahuʻula in the Battle of Mokuʻōhai to fight Kamehameha I.
In 1790, Keawemaʻuhili broke a pact of neutrality he agreed to with his nephew by sending troops and resources to aid Kamehameha I’s war on Maui.
In retaliation, Keōua Kūʻahuʻula waged war against Keawemaʻuhili and killed him at Alae in Hilopaliku.
