Cheok Hong Cheong^[a] (23 November 1851 – 20 June 1928), also known as Zhang Zhuoxiong (Chinese: 張卓雄),^[2] was a Chinese-born Australian missionary, political activist, writer, and businessman. Originally a Presbyterian elder, he became the superintendent of the Anglican mission in Melbourne.

He was also opposed to the British opium trade.
