The '''Hindu Association of Hong Kong''' is a charitable organisation in [[Hong Kong]] which represents the interests of the Hindu population in the territory. The [[Hinduism in Hong Kong|Hindu population in Hong Kong]] is estimated to be approximately 100,000. The Association assists the local Hindu community with a number of, mostly religious, matters, including the cremation of deceased persons. It is managed by a 15-member Managing Committee, currently headed by Mr Lal Hardasani.

==Happy Valley Hindu Temple==
The Association manages the Hindu Temple in Happy Valley, which also serves as the Association's headquarters.<ref>{{cite web |title=Happy Valley Hindu Temple {{!}} Hong Kong Tourism Board |url=https://www.discoverhongkong.com/us/interactive-map/happy-valley-hindu-temple.html |website=Discover Hong Kong |access-date=13 April 2021 |language=en}}</ref>

==Hindu Cemetery==
Located behind the Hindu Temple, the cemetery contains a small number of graves. After falling into a state of disrepair, the cemetery was the focus of a community effort in 2021 to clean the area and restore some of the damaged gravestones.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Mogul |first1=Rhea |title=Hong Kong volunteers turn out to restore Happy Valley's historic Hindu cemetery |url=https://hongkongfp.com/2021/03/28/kong-kong-volunteers-turn-out-to-restore-happy-valleys-historic-hindu-cemetery/ |access-date=13 April 2021 |work=Hong Kong Free Press |date=28 March 2021}}</ref> The cemetery also contains the Hindu and Sikh Cremation Memorial, which commemorates those who lost their lives during the First World War in Hong Kong.<ref>{{cite web |title=HONG KONG HINDU AND SIKH CREMATION MEMORIAL |url=https://www.cwgc.org/visit-us/find-cemeteries-memorials/cemetery-details/2000319/Hong%20Kong%20Hindu%20and%20Sikh%20Cremation%20Memorial/ |website=Commonwealth War Graves |publisher=Commonwealth War Graves Commission |access-date=13 April 2021}}</ref>
