Noah Lolesio (LOW-le-SEE-ooh[1]) (born 18 December 1999) is an Australian rugby union player who plays for the Brumbies in Super Rugby, and for the Wallabies (the Australian national team). His playing position is fly-half. He is also able to play as a centre. He has signed for the Brumbies squad in 2019. Lolesio graduated from The Southport School, in which he played in their first XV.[2][3][4]

Lolesio made his debut for the Brumbies at the start of the 2020 season, guiding the team to the 2020 Super Rugby AU championship after the COVID-19 pandemic ended the full competition prematurely.

In October 2020, Lolesio made his debut for the Wallabies in the third test of the 2020 Bledisloe Cup in Stadium Australia, Sydney.[5]

Lolesio signed a 'joker deal' with RC Toulonnais for the duration of the 2023 Rugby World Cup[6] and has re-signed with the Brumbies for 2024.[7]

Lolesio is of Samoan and Niuean descent.[8]
