Ciliopagurus vakovako is a species of hermit crab native to the Marquesas Islands. It is typically found at a depth no lower than 57 metres (187 ft). C. vakovako appears to be a vicariant of C. strigatus, a species widespread throughout the Indo-pacific region.
The species name vakovako is a Marquesan word meaning striped, which is an allusion to the transverse rings on the legs.
