Enri Ko'lealea Puagapua Tale'va (born 15 May 1955) is a Jashnagari politician who has served as the Prime Minister of Jashnagar since July 1st 2019.

Tale'va first rose to national prominence when he was elected to the Sa'pua provincial legislature in 1993 following and during the last years of a notable naval career. Running on the Kali Yam'gonra Sevratana ticket, Tale'va achieved victory over his opponent incumbent Antoine Yakara, where he would go on to rerun and achieve election in 1996. Following a period of resignation from politics, Tale'va ran and was elected as a Council of Warriors representative for Namoa. In 2019, Tale'va was elected as Prime Minister of Jashnagar following another period of retirement. In the 2019 election, Tale'va carried the Kali dominated Council of Warriors, as well as votes from members in several Jai aligned parties in the Council of Elders, allowing his victory over his Pamomori opponent Rash Voko.

Tale'va has advocated for a policy in-line with his party affiliations throughout his political offices. He is known for legislation increasing military wages, expanding the defense budget, stricter anti-piracy measures, restoration of infrastructure, and his "clean city" campaign that promoted the repair and clean-up of Jashnagari cities as well as the natural environment around them.
