夏威夷语（）是南岛语系的一种，用拉丁文字书写，是夏威夷族使用的語言。因主要在夏威夷群岛被使用而得名，另外在美国本土亦有少数人使用。和英语同为夏威夷州的官方語言。至2001年，夏威夷语母语使用者共计等于全州人口的 0.1%。
夏威夷的皮钦语或克里奥尔语不是夏威夷语或英语的方言。
夏威夷字母共有13个，5个为元音，8个为辅音。在其中有一个是声门塞音。
文字
除了岩石雕刻符号，夏威夷人在接触西方文化之前没有文字。现代夏威夷字母是基于拉丁字母。所有的辅音之后都会搭配一个元音。夏威夷语字母表中所有的元音都在辅音之前。
起源
1820年到1826年，夏威夷文字系统最早被美国新教传教士使用。最初还包含B、D、R、T、V、F、G、S、Y，Z只拼写外文。最初的印刷包括A、E、I、O、U以及AE、AI、AO、AU、EI、EU、OU这些双元音。1826年后，一些多余的同位异音被删减以便更好地被使用。
但是在很多外来词保留非夏威夷字母。例：Brazil夏威夷化后是Palakila，但使用时是Barazila。
