Joseph Lambert (born 5 February 1961[1]) is a Haitian politician. He is the disputed acting president of Haiti. He is disputed with Claude Joseph since 9 July 2021, and the incumbent leader of the remaining Haitian Senate.[2][3]

His claim to the presidency after the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse is disputed because there is not much constitutional rules to make him president and the fact that only ten elected senators remain in the legislative body.[4]
