Monopotassium phosphate (MKP) (also, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, KDP, or monobasic potassium phosphate) is the inorganic compound with the formula KH2PO4. Together with dipotassium phosphate (K2HPO4.(H2O)x), it is often used as a fertilizer, food additive, and buffering agent. The salt often crystallizes with the dipotassium salt as well as with phosphoric acid.

Applications
Fertilizer-grade MKP powder contains the equivalent of 52% P
2O5 and 34% K2O, and is labeled NPK 0-52-34. MKP powder is often used as a nutrient source in the greenhouse trade and in hydroponics.

As a crystal, MKP is noted for its non-linear optical properties. Used in optical modulators and for non-linear optics such as second-harmonic generation (SHG).

Also to be noted is KD*P, potassium dideuterium phosphate, with slightly different properties. Highly deuterated KDP is used in nonlinear frequency conversion of laser light instead of protonated (regular) KDP due to the fact that the replacement of protons with deuterons in the crystal shifts the third overtone of the strong OH molecular stretch to longer wavelengths, moving it mostly out of the range of the fundamental line at approximately 1064 nm of neodymium-based lasers. Regular KDP has absorbances at this wavelength of approximately 4.7–6.3% per cm of thickness while highly deuterated KDP has absorbances of typically less than 0.8% per cm.

Monopotassium Phosphate is used as an ingredient in sports drinks such as Gatorade and Powerade.

Monopotassium Phosphate is one of the most important inorganic compounds. The main utilization of this compound is as fertilizer, food additive, and buffering agent. Sometimes the salt co-crystalizes with the dipotassium salt as well as the phosphoric acid.
