The Vatukoula mine is a gold mine in Fiji. It is one of the country's largest gold mines, and one of the largest in the world. The mine is located in Vatukoula in the south of the country, on Viti Levu, the largest island of Fiji.

The mine was closed in December 2006, and was subsequently reopened in April 2008 as the price of gold increased. The mine has an estimated 4.2 million ounces of gold.
