Tuvalu is a 2006 novel by Australian author Andrew O'Connor.

It won The Australian/Vogel Literary Award for unpublished manuscripts by writers under 35.

The novel is set mostly in Tokyo and tells the story of a young Australian teacher of English, and his relationship with two women, Tilly, another Australian English teacher, and Mami, a Japanese hotel heiress.

Tilly describes it to Noah as follows: I guess for me Tuvalu's always done the trick.

[...] Haven't you ever once looked into the future and pictured a different life for yourself, made it a destination in some abstract way?
