Tongatapu 8 is an electoral constituency for the Legislative Assembly in the Kingdom of Tonga. It was established for the November 2010 general election, when the multi-seat regional constituencies for People's Representatives were replaced by single-seat constituencies, electing one representative via the first past the post electoral system. Located on the country's main island, Tongatapu, it encompasses the villages of Malapo, Vaini, Longoteme, Folaha, Nukuhetulu, Kauvai, and Veitongo.

Its first ever representative was Sione Taione, a first time MP, representing the Democratic Party of the Friendly Islands.

Along with five other incumbent DPFI MPs, Sione Taione was not selected as a DPFI candidate for this election, and announced he would be running as an independent candidate.
