Lion Rock, or less formally, Lion Rock Hill, is a famous hill in Hong Kong, China. It is located between Kowloon Tong in Kowloon and Tai Wai in the New Territories, and is 495 m high.

Lion Rock is famous for its shape and is visible from various places in Kowloon. Numerous trails lead through the waist-high shrubbery, rock, and dirt to the top. The rock structure itself can be climbed, providing a beautiful view of the city and Hong Kong Island in the distance. The entire hill is located within Lion Rock Country Park in Hung Mui Kuk, Tai Wai and is made passable by vehicles by Lion Rock Tunnel, which connects Kowloon Tong and Tai Wai.

Lion Rock is near another famous rock structure: Amah Rock
