Avner-Hai Shaki (Hebrew: אבנר-חי שאקי, 5 February 1926 – 28 May 2005) was an Israeli politician who served as a government minister in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Shaki's political career began when he attempted to lead an independent list for the student union but was not elected.

[7] Ahead of the 1959 Knesset elections he founded the "National Sephardic Party," which claimed discrimination against Sephardim but failed to pass the electoral threshold.

In July 1972, after voting in favor of an amendment to the Law of Return regarding the definition of Who is a Jew according to Halakha, against the stance of the government and his party,[8] he was dismissed from his position as Deputy Minister of Education.

Following the dirty trick in mid-1990 and the formation of a new government, Shaki was appointed Minister of Religious Affairs, a position he held until 1992.

After competing against Rabbi Yitzhak Levi for the leadership of the NRP and the education portfolio in 1998, a contest he lost, Shaki announced he would not run for Knesset again and was appointed an associate president of the World Mizrachi Movement.

His daughter Smadar Gross served for nine months as the head of the Religious Council in Kfar Saba and was the first woman to hold this position.
