海地克里奥尔语(Kreyòl ayisyen [kɣejɔl ajisjɛ̃][5][6]),在当地又简称为克里奥尔语(Kreyòl [kɣejɔl]),是一种以法语为基础的克里奥尔语,全世界约有1,000万至1,200万人使用。该语言是海地两种官方语言之一(另一种为法语),亦是当地大多数人的母语[7][8]。移民海外的海地侨民约有35万人使用海地克里奥尔语,主要分布在加拿大、美国、法国,以及加勒比海诸国(当中尤其以多米尼加、古巴与巴哈马为最多)。

海地克里奥尔语起源在17世纪至18世纪的大西洋奴隶贸易期间,法国定居者与被奴役的非洲人于法属圣多明戈(今海地)之间的接触,并随着当地人口族群及日后外来种族的影响而逐渐变成一种的独特的语言[9][10]。海地克里奥尔语的词汇主要由18世纪的法语演变而来,其语法则类近西非的沃尔特-刚果语支(特别是丰语与伊博语)[10]。此外,该语言亦受到西班牙语、英语、葡萄牙语、泰诺语(伊斯帕尼奥拉岛上原住民泰诺人所使用的语言),以及西非其他语言的影响[11]。海地克里奥尔语拥有一套独特的语法,与标准法语之间无法互通。据一些来源指出,海地克里奥尔语是现今世界上众多克里奥尔语中使用人数最多的[12]。不过,这说法存在一定争议,有部分来源声称尼日利亚皮钦语(一种以英语为基础的克里奥尔语)的使用者人数比起讲海地克里奥尔语与其他以法语为基础的克里奥尔语的人还要多,特别是如果将非母语使用者计算在内的话。
