Sione Faumuina (born March 27, 1981 in Auckland, New Zealand) is a New Zealand rugby league player who has recently signed a 2 year deal with the North Queensland Cowboys National Rugby League (NRL) club beginning in 2007.
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 teared 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.[1]

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