The Hong Kong Open is a golf tournament which is co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and the European Tour. It was founded in 1959 and has been part of the European Tour's schedule since 2001. The Hong Kong Golf Association, Hong Kong PGA, and Chinese PGA also receive a limited number of exemptions into the tournament for their members.

The tournament is played towards the end of the year and for European Tour purposes it falls into the following season. For example the Hong Kong Open played on the 2-5 December 2004 was part of the European Tour's 2005 season. The bank UBS has signed a four year sponsorship agreement covering the 2005-2008 tournaments. The prize fund was U.S.$1.2 million in 2005 and will be $2 million in 2006.

Well known golfers who have won the tournament include Bernhard Langer, José María Olazábal, Kel Nagle, Greg Norman, Peter Thomson, Tom Watson, Padraig Harrington, Colin Montgomerie, and Ian Woosnam.
