Adi Asilina Davila Toganivalu is a Fijian academic and businesswoman who was the first woman appointed to a company board in Fiji. She is a sister of former President of Fiji Kamisese Mara.

Toganivalu was educated at the University of Southern Queensland in Toowoomba, Australia, whence she graduated with bachelor's degrees in education.

She later worked for UNICEF as a regional educational officer.

In January 2006 Toganivalu was appointed to the board of the Fiji Times, the first woman to hold such a position. The appointment, which is for three years, was approved by News Limited in Sydney, Australia, the parent company of the Fiji Times.
