Inatio Akaruru Шаблон:Post-nominals (31 March 1937 – 31 January 2014)[1][2] was a Cook Islands politician, cabinet minister and Deputy Prime Minister. He was a member of the Cook Islands Party.

Akaruru was born on Pukapuka.[3] He worked as a public servant before being elected as MP for Pukapuka at the 1968 election.[3] He served as a Cabinet Minister in the government of Albert Henry and as Deputy Prime Minister to Geoffrey Henry.

In 1977, Akaruru was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Medal.[7] He was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 1992 New Year Honours.
