Savelina Fanene (born May 29, 1984) is an Australian-American professional wrestler. She is currently signed to WWE, where she performs on the SmackDown brand under the ring name Nia Jax. She is the current Queen of the Ring, a former one-time WWE Raw Women's Champion, and a former two-time WWE Women's Tag Team Champion (both times with Shayna Baszler).

Fanene signed with WWE in early 2014 and was assigned to the developmental brand NXT. She made her debut in May 2015 under the ring name Zada, which was changed to Nia Jax in August that year. As part of the 2016 WWE Draft, she was promoted to the main roster. Fanene was released from her WWE contract in November 2021, but after a brief appearance at the Royal Rumble in January 2023, she re-signed with the company, making her return in September.
