Shek Pai Wan or Aberdeen Bay is a bay between Aberdeen on Hong Kong Island and Ap Lei Chau (formerly Aberdeen Island). Its name was formerly romanized as Shekpywan. The bay is one of the traditional fishery ports because the hills on two sides forms a nature shelter. The whole bay is zoned as the Aberdeen West Typhoon Shelter.

Currently, Shek Pai Wan usually refers to Shek Pai Wan Estate, a public housing estate in Aberdeen.
