Mulatto (French: mulâtre, Template:Lang-ht) is a term in Haiti that is historically linked to Haitians who are born to one white parent and one black parent; or to persons of two mulatto parents. Contemporary usage of the term in Haiti is also applied to the bourgeoisie, pertaining to high social and economic stature.

People of mulatto and white descent constitute a minority of 5 percent of the Haitian population.[1]
