This article includes current and historical political parties in Haiti. Haiti is a country on the western side of Hispaniola, an island in the Caribbean. Few political parties have a strong organizational base or command a national following.

## List of parties represented in the National Assembly

[edit]

In 2020 and 2021 all elected members of the National Assembly saw their terms expire since their election in 2015-2016 or 2016-2017. Due to the lack of new elections, this has left all seats in the National Assembly vacant. The following table lists the parties represented in the National Assembly prior to its vacancy:
