Sione Faumuina (born March 27, 1981 in Auckland, New Zealand) is a New Zealand rugby league player who currently plays for the Redcliffe Dolphins.

He joined the Castleford Tigers in the European Super League at the start of the 2009 season.

He also has previously played for the Canberra Raiders and New Zealand Warriors and was due to play for Superleague club Harlequins RL until the club tore up his contract pre-season. Faumuina represented the New Zealand national team on two occasions between 2003 and 2004 and his position of choice is second row although he has also played at lock, centre and stand-off.

He was released by the New Zealand Warriors in August 2006 for repeated involvement in "cases of serious misconduct", related to alcohol.

Sione Faumuina signed a contract to play for Harlequins RL, starting from the 2007 season, a contract that Quins RL have agreed to tear up.

He signed with the North Queensland Cowboys and has played with them since 2007.

Sione was released by mutual consent from Castleford at the back end of the 2009 season.

In 2011, Faumuina moved to Tannum Sands to work in local industry. He now plays five-eighth for Tannum Sands Gullaz.
