Croix-des-Bouquets (Creole: Kwadèbouke) is a city in the Ouest Department of Haiti. It is located 12.9 kilometers (8.0 mi) to the northeast of Haiti's capital city, Port-au-Prince. Originally located on the shore, it was relocated inland after the 1770 Port-au-Prince earthquake. Due to this fact, it was not as badly affected in the 2010 Haiti earthquake. The city will be home to refugee tent villages of about 10,000 refugees each when the first wave of refugees begins to be resettled there.
Croix-des-Bouquets is the name of an arrondisement (second level administrative division) and commune (third level administrative division).
