Olta Xhaçka (born 25 December 1979) is an Albanian politician and Socialist Party member of Parliament. She received a bachelor's in Political Science and International Relations from Clark University with honors, along with an MPA.[1]

Xhaçka became minister of social welfare and youth in March 2017 as a result of a cabinet reshuffle by Prime Minister Edi Rama. She was replaced by Xhulieta Kërtusha from the Democratic Party in May as a result of a compromise with the main opposition party.

She was re-elected to parliament in June 2017.[2] Her district had the greatest increase in votes for the Socialist Party since the 2013 parliamentary elections of any in Tirana.[3]

Prime Minister Edi Rama previously declared that "technical" ministers, who were put in place to ensure fair elections as part of internationally brokered agreement between the government and opposition, would be removed if the Socialist Party won a majority as it did.[4]
