氢氧化钾（化学式：KOH），俗称苛性钾，白色固体，溶于水、醇，但不溶于醚。在空气中极易吸湿而潮解。可与二氧化碳反应生成碳酸钾。所以它会被用作吸收二氧化碳之用。

氢氧化钾是典型的强碱，有许多任务业上的应用，大部份的应用都是因为氢氧化钾可以和酸反应，以及氢氧化钾本身的腐蚀性。2005年生产的氢氧化钾估计有700,000至 800,000吨，约为氢氧化钠的百分之一。氢氧化钾常用来制造软肥皂和液体肥皂，也用来制备含钾的化学物质。

Potassium hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the formula KOH, and is commonly called caustic potash.

Along with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), this colorless solid is a prototypical strong base. It has many industrial and niche applications, most of which exploit its corrosive nature and its reactivity toward acids. An estimated 700,000 to 800,000 tonnes were produced in 2005. Approximately 100 times more NaOH than KOH is produced annually. KOH is noteworthy as the precursor to most soft and liquid soaps as well as numerous potassium-containing chemicals.
