Alega is a village on the southeast coast of Tutuila Island, American Samoa. One of the island's least populous villages, it is located to the east of Pago Pago Harbor and to the west of Faga'itua Bay.

Alega lies between Lauli'i and Avaio villages, and is home to Alega Village Marine Protected Area.
