Fautua Otto (born 23 July 1985) is a Samoan former international rugby union player.[1]

Born in Saasaai, Otto was a centre and winger, capped 12 times for Samoa between 2010 and 2014. He scored a try against England at Twickenham in 2010 and also represented Samoa in rugby sevens, including matches in their 2009–10 IRB Sevens World Series title-winning campaign.[2]

Otto had several years in England's RFU Championship. He competed for Bristol between 2011 and 2014, scoring 13 tries, then continued his career at the Jersey Reds in 2015.[3] His contract was terminated by Jersey in 2016 after he was convicted of driving while disqualified and jailed for five months.[4]
