This is a list of members of the Parliament of Tuvalu or Palamene o Tuvalu who were elected at the 2010 Tuvaluan general election or as the result of by-elections during the life of the parliament.
There are no formal parties in Tuvalu. The political system is based on personal alliances and loyalties derived from clan and family connections.[1] The Parliament of Tuvalu is rare among national legislatures in that it is non-partisan in nature. It does tend to have both a distinct government and a distinct opposition.[1]

On 15 December 2010, prime minister Maatia Toafa's government was ousted in a vote of no confidence, which followed Willie Telavi withdrawing his support for the government. On 25 December 2010 Willy Telavi was elected prime minister and appointed his cabinet.[3][2]
On 2 August 2013, prime minister Willie Telavi's government was ousted in a vote of no-confidence.[4]
