Narsi Raniga (born 1942) is a Fiji Indian who has held senior civil service posts in Fiji and has also been a member of the House of Representatives of Fiji.

He was born in Ba and completed the Bachelor of Arts from the University of Queensland. After a brief period as a teacher, he did postgraduate courses at the University of Auckland and Cambridge University. On his return to Fiji, he joined the civil service. He worked as Commissioner of the Western Division,[1] secretary for Foreign Affairs, High Commissioner to India,[2] and permanent secretary to the Public Service Commission.[3]

In 1987 he resigned from the civil service to contest the South Central National Constituency for the Alliance Party.[4] He won the seat with a comfortable margin, but his party lost the election and he sat on the opposition bench for a month when the military coup of 1987 prematurely ended his political career.[5]
