Khalatse (), often written as Khaltse or Khalsi, is the headquarters of the eponymous subdivision, block and tehsil in the Leh district of Ladakh, India. It is located 95 km from Leh city on the old main road to Kargil, where it crosses the Indus over an iron bridge. Much of its importance is because it is the place where the road from Kashmir debouches into the Indus Valley.
Close by are the remains of an old fortified customs house. Khaltsi is also the location of the upcoming new Sindhu Central University of Ladakh.
