The Green Party of Hawai'i (GPH) () is the green party organization in the state of Hawaii, and an affiliate organization of the Green Party of the United States.

The party's focus includes environmental issues, community-based economics, personal responsibility, diversity, social justice, and non-violence.

History

The Hawaii Green Party first qualified for the ballot in May 1992, followed by California and New Mexico.

In November 1992, Keiko Bonk was elected to a seat on the Hawaii County (Big Island) County Council, the first Green to be elected in a partisan race in the United States. She was re-elected in 1994, but stepped down to run unsuccessfully for Island Mayor in 1996. When she decided not to run in 2002, her husband Bob Jacobson ran and was elected, then re-elected again in 2004 and 2006. Jacobson lost in 2008. No Green Party members have since held elected office in Hawaii.

In 2012, the Green Party of Hawaii was certified to be included on Hawaii partisan election ballots in all races through 2020. A decision in the lawsuit was rendered by the Supreme Court of Hawaii on 19 July 2016.
