Kwai Chung is an urban area within Tsuen Wan New Town in the New Territories of Hong Kong. Together with Tsing Yi Island, it is part of the Kwai Tsing District of Hong Kong. It is also part of Tsuen Wan New Town.

In 2000, it had a population of 287,000. Its area is 9.93 km². Areas within Kwai Chung include: Kwai Fong, Kwai Hing, Lai King, Tai Wo Hau. Kwai Chung is the site of part of the container port of Hong Kong.

In earlier times Kwai Chung was called Kwai Chung Tsai (葵涌子). Kwai Chung was a stream (Chung) that emptied into Gin Drinkers Bay (葵涌澳). The whole bay was reclaimed for land and the stream is no longer visible.^{[clarification needed]}

Traditionally, Kwai Chung is divided into Sheung Kwai Chung (上葵涌; 'Upper Kwai Chung'), and Ha Kwai Chung (下葵涌; 'Lower Kwai Chung'). Administratively, the former is called North Kwai Chung, and the latter South Kwai Chung.

Sheung Kwai Chung, Chung Kwai Chung Village (中葵涌村) and Ha Kwai Chung Village (下葵涌村) are recognized villages under the New Territories Small House Policy.^[1]

Kwai Chung is the home of the principal commercial cargo handling area of Hong Kong, the Kwai Chung Container Terminal, one of the largest and busiest port facilities in the world. The main commercial port was relocated here from Yau Ma Tei in the 1980s, in preparation for the West Kowloon Reclamation, which has left the original waterfront of Yau Ma Tei almost half a mile inland.^{[citation needed]}

The area has the head office of Kerry Logistics.^[2]
