Ephraim Kalsakau (or Éphraïm Kalsakau[1]) is a ni-Vanuatu trade unionist and politician.
In 1987, he spearheaded the founding of the Vanuatu Labour Party (VLP), to be the political arm of united trade unions.[2] He has rejected the idea that "there is a major difference between the Vanuaaku Pati and the UMP", the country's two major parties.[3]

He is currently the secretary general of the Vanuatu National Workers Union.[1][6][7]
