The Hong Kong national football team ( ), represents Hong Kong in international association football events such as the FIFA World Cup, AFC Asian Cup and EAFF East Asian Football Championship. The team is supervised by the HKFA (Hong Kong Football Association).

The team had been representing Hong Kong in international football events before 1997 when Hong Kong was a colony of the United Kingdom. It continues to represent Hong Kong even after Hong Kong was handed over to the People's Republic of China by the United Kingdom and became a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China in 1997. This team is a separate team from the national team of the People's Republic of China, as the Basic Law and the principle of "One country, two systems" allows Hong Kong to maintain its own representative teams in international sports competitions.
