Netani Edward Talei (born 19 March 1983 in Suva, Fiji) is a Fijian rugby union player.

He represented the Fiji U21s in 2004 after earlier studying at Marist Brothers High School and two years at Wesley College (NZ).

In 2007 he was part of the 30-man Fiji squad that reached the quarter-finals of the Rugby World Cup in France.

The giant back row, who has won fifteen caps for his country, signed a one-year deal at Sixways, with an option for an extension.

In March 2008, Worcester opted to extend Talei's contract and he signed a new two-year deal which will keep him at Sixways until 2010.
