Hung Hom Bay (traditional Chinese: 紅磡灣, Jyutping: hung4 ham3 waan1) is a bay of Victoria Harbour, between Tsim Sha Tsui and Hung Hom in South Kowloon, Hong Kong.
Since 1850, the bay has been reclaimed many times: by 1996, it had nearly disappeared. The all of present-day Tsim Sha Tsui East and Hung Hom Station of the MTR are on land reclaimed from the bay. The reclamation also buried several rocks, including Rumsey Rock. The bay once indented to present day interchange of West Kowloon Corridor with Hung Hom Bypass. There is a current reclamation project ongoing along the last remaining pieces of the bay, to include a new waterfron promanade and possibly a cruise terminal.
