哈斯塔(英语:Hastur)是美国小说家霍华德·菲利普·洛夫克拉夫特所创造的克苏鲁神话中的一个存在。他并不是洛夫克拉特首创的角色,曾先后在安布罗斯·比尔斯的小说《牧羊人海塔》(Haïta the Shepherd)和罗伯特·钱伯斯的小说《黄衣之王》中出现。在阅读了罗伯特·钱伯斯的著作后,洛夫克拉夫特深感著迷,于是将此角色纳入克苏鲁神话的体系之中。
哈斯塔的别名又叫“无以名状者”(the Unspeakable)、“黄衣之王”(The King in Yellow )、“遥远的欢宴者”(The Feaster from Afar)或“深空星海之主”,在奥古斯特·威廉·德雷斯为克苏鲁神话构建的体系中,哈斯塔是旧日支配者之一,象征风的存在,是象征水的存在的克苏鲁的死敌。他主要以“黄衣之王”和“遥远的欢宴者”的形象现身,前者为身穿黄衣、面戴柔软面具的人形,后者为满身皱纹,生有利爪和触手的黑色飞行个体。
哈斯塔的本体被旧神禁闭在昴宿星团中的恒星昴宿增九的行星上、古代都市卡尔克萨的废墟附近的哈利湖中。
伊塔库亚、罗伊格尔、札尔及拜亚基都是哈斯塔的眷族。
