Carrefour (Template:Lang-ht) is a poor district in the Ouest Department of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. It's population is 408,000.The name means intersection. The neighborhood is very poor and ill-serviced however as of recently, small-scale construction has gone on in the area along with street renovations. A slum called Feuilles of Carrefour is notorious for the illegal execution of eleven young men that took place there in 1999.

Carrefour was not always a poor district outside of downtown Port-au-Prince. Before the departure of Jean-Claude Duvalier and before all the political unrest that has swallowed the country, it was a haven for tourists. Carrefour and the country as a whole was dealt a death blow when the last embargo was imposed on it by the United Sates to enforce the return of than deposed President Jean Bertrand Aristide.
