I present a calculation of QCD radiative corrections to charged Higgs production via the process bg -> tH-. I show that the cross section is dominated by soft-gluon corrections, which are computed through next-to-next-to-leading order. Results for charged Higgs production at the LHC are presented, including the dependence of the cross section on the charged Higgs mass, the top quark mass, the factorization and renormalization scales, and tan beta.
