Asaeli Tikoirotuma (born 24 June 1986) is a Fijian rugby union player. His regular playing position is wing.

Until 2018 he played for the London Irish in the Green King IPA Championship[1]

In his inaugural Super Rugby season in 2012, he won the Super Rugby title with the Chiefs on 4 August at the 2012 Super Rugby Final at home at Waikato Stadium, Hamilton. At the end of the 2012 season, he scored 7 tries, which meant he was joint 10th with 4 other players on the leading try scorers table.

In October 2013, he was named in the Fiji team to their 2013 end-of-year tour.

On 5 June 2014, Tikoirotuma officially joined Harlequins in England on a two-year contract.[2] However, he was granted early release to join Premiership rivals London Irish for the forthcoming 2015–16 season.[3]
