Suva (Fijian: [ˈsuβa] ^ⓘ SOO-vuh, Hindi: सुवा) is the capital and most populous settlement of Fiji. It is the centre of Fiji's largest metropolitan area and serves as its major port. The city is on the southeast coast of the island of Viti Levu, in Rewa Province, Central Division.

In 1877, Fiji's capital was moved to Suva from Levuka, the main European colonial settlement at the time, due to the restrictive geography and environs of the latter. The administration of the colony was transferred from Levuka to Suva in 1882.

As of the 2017 census, Suva had a population of 93,874, The urban area which includes Nasinu had a population of 186,920. The metropolitan population of Suva including the towns of Lami, Nasinu, and Nausori was 268,423 (this urban complex, excluding Lami, is also known as the Suva-Nausori corridor).
