The Haitian Tèt Kale Party (French: Parti Haïtien Tèt Kale, PHTK) is a Haitian political party. Tèt Kale means "Balded Head" in Haitian Creole.

The party was formally constituted on August 16, 2012, although President Michel Martelly is not a member of the party, the PHTK had affinities with the government.

For the 2015 presidential election Jovenel Moise was presented as the party's candidate. For the 2015 parliamentary elections, the party presented 11 candidates for the Senate and 99 for the Chamber of Deputies. On the first round of the legislative elections four PHTK candidates were immediately elected. The party currently holds 26 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and two seats in the Senate. The party's presidential candidate, endorsed by country president Michel Martelly, Jovenel Moise won most votes in the first round in the 2015 presidential election and will compete against Jude Célestin in the runoff election on 27 December 2015.

After the controversial first round of the 2015 presidential election, the party is described as "corrupt" and "dysfunctional" by Haitians and Haitian Americans. According to a Haitian Sentinel article, many Haitian Americans living in Miami criticized the party as "thieves".
