The 1988 Haitian general election took place on 17 January 1988,^[1] after the 1987 general election had been cancelled due to an election day massacre of voters either orchestrated or condoned by the Haitian military.^[2] The elections were boycotted by most candidates who had contested the previous elections and turnout was lower than 4%.^[2]

The official results were made public on 24 January, and it was a victory for Leslie Manigat of the Rally of Progressive National Democrats.^[3] However, he was removed from office on 20 June, in a military coup.^[2]
