Mohd Hayati bin Othman (born 12 June 1957) is a Malaysian politician who has served as Member of the Kedah State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Tokai since May 2018. He served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Pendang from March 2004 to May 2013. He is a member of the Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), a component party of the PN and formerly Gagasan Sejahtera (GS), Pakatan Rakyat (PR) and Barisan Alternatif (BA) coalitions.[1]

Hayati was elected to the Pendang seat in the 2004 election with a 50-vote margin. Two years earlier, he had been defeated in a by-election for the seat occasioned by the death of PAS's leader Fadzil Noor. The 2004 victory was a rare win for PAS in an election where it lost 20 of its 27 seats. Hayati then increased his majority in the 2008 election.[2] He had contested the seat in a by-election in 2002, but was defeated by Othman Abdul of the United Malay National Organisation.[3] He was replaced as the PAS candidate for Pendang ahead of the 2013 election, to make way for the party's deputy president Mat Sabu, and the party lost the seat to the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO).[4]

In January 2010, Mohd Hayati was conferred the honorific title of Datuk by Sultan Abdul Halim of Kedah.[5]
