Christelle Lehartel is a French Polynesian politician and former Cabinet Minister who served in the government of Édouard Fritch. She is a member of Tapura Huiraatira.

Lehartel has previously served as secretary of the Tahoeraa Huiraatira party.[1] In September 2014, she was elected mayor of Papara following the removal from office of Bruno Sandras following his conviction for corruption.[2][3] In July 2015, the Papara municipal elections were annulled by the French Council of State,[4] and Lehartel lost the mayoralty to Putai Taae in the resulting by-election.[5]

At the 2018 French Polynesian legislative election she ran as a candidate for the Tapura Huiraatira,[6] but was not elected. Following the election she was appointed to the cabinet of Édouard Fritch as Minister of Education, Youth and Sports.[7] Following the death of MP Jacquie Graffe she had the option of taking his vacant seat in the Assembly of French Polynesia as the next on the list,[8] but chose instead to remain as a Minister.[9] A cabinet reshuffle in September 2020 following the resignation of Teva Rohfritsch saw her surrender her Youth and Sport portfolio but gain responsibility for Modernization of the Administration and Digital.[10] Following the resignation of Nicole Bouteau in November 2021 she also gained responsibility for Labour.[11] A cabinet reshuffle in February 2022 saw her surrender the Labour portfolio to Virginie Bruant.[12]
