The Nuaulu, Naulu or Nunuhai[3] are an ethnic group located in Seram, Maluku, Indonesia.

The group name 'Nuaulu' means head[waters] of the Nua River, which is the ancestral homeland of the Nuaulu people.

The majority of the Nuaulu people still adhere to their traditional religion which is based on a belief that the ancestors control everyday life and if the traditions they handed down are not followed correctly the living will be punished with sickness, death, and lack of prosperity.

Nuaulu religion also states that there is an original creator called Upu Kuanahatana, and that there is powerful magic which people can use for good, or bad, purposes.

Nuaulu are subsistence farmers who use shifting cultivation techniques; they also grow cash crops such as coconuts, cloves, and nutmeg.
