Lusiano Aisake (died 7 September 1906) was a king of Uvea, who ruled from 1904 until 1906. He came to power after Vito Lavelua II in August 1904 when he was around 65 years old.[1]: 16 

According to Jean-Claude Roux, Lusiano Aisake was the “favorite of the resident Chauvot, but elected against the advice of the resident De Keroman”.[1]: 16  The French captain Adigart, commanding the aviso Protet which passed through Wallis in October 1904, judged him "unfavorable to the whites of the island".[1]: 16  The resident Viala judged him very negatively, "with a suspicious and authoritarian behavior".[1]: 16 

Aisake rules for two years; he died on 7 September 1906.[1]: 122  One of his fourth cousins, Sosefo Mautāmakia I, succeeded him.[1]: 122
