The nature of primitive magmas and the deep plumbing system at ocean island volcanoes is enigmatic and poorly understood. Melt inclusions provide windows into the magmatic history of primitive melts, allowing insights into melt heterogeneity, mixing, fractionation, and degassing. We present the major, trace, and volatile element composition of melt inclusions from tephra and lava samples erupted during 25 prehistoric and historic eruptions of Kīlauea Volcano over the past 600 years. Once corrected for post‐entrapment crystallization, the most primitive melts have 14.7 wt% MgO, making them close to primary. The melts form a compositional array broadly controlled by olivine fractionation, but with significant heterogeneity superimposed. This heterogeneity exceeds that observed in previous studies of whole‐rock compositions and glasses of historical Kīlauea magmas and is caused by mixing of compositionally distinct melts during fractionation. Primitive melt inclusions show a range in H2O contents up to ˜0.7 wt% and H2O/Ce up to ˜290, suggesting that some primary melts may be inherently enriched in H2O, inherited from the mantle melting region. Temporal trends in melt compositions are similar to those observed in whole rocks, suggesting that there are significant changes in the degree of mantle melting and mantle source composition at Kīlauea Volcano over 50–100 year timescales.
