Elina Vavailagi Nasaudrodro (born December 22, 1985 in Suva) is a Fijian judoka who competed in the women's lightweight category.[1] She picked up a bronze medal in the 57-kg division at the 2004 Oceania Judo Championships in Noumea, New Caledonia, and represented her nation Fiji, as an eighteen-year-old teen, at the 2004 Summer Olympics.

Nasaudrodro qualified for the two-member Fijian judo squad in the women's lightweight class (57 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by placing third and receiving a berth from the Oceania Championships in Noumea, New Caledonia. Being young and inexperienced in the senior tournament, Nasaudrodro immediately lost her opening match to highly credentialed British judoka Sophie Cox, who pinned and duly wrapped her on the tatami in a broken scarf hold (kuzure kesa gatame) within a minute.[2][3][4]
