Tongatapu 7 is an electoral constituency for the Legislative Assembly in the Kingdom of Tonga.

Located on the country's main island, Tongatapu, it encompasses the villages of Pea, Tokomololo, Haʻateiho, Lotohaʻapai, and part of Tofoa and Koloua.[1]

Its first ever representative was Sione Saulala, a first time MP, representing the Democratic Party of the Friendly Islands.[2]
