The Hong Kong National Front (HKNF)[c] is a political organisation which advocates the independence of Hong Kong from China. Originally based in Central, Hong Kong, it was forced to cease its activities in the city following the imposition of the Hong Kong national security law on 30 June 2020. The group currently operates in exile in Taiwan and the United Kingdom.

Baggio Leung, a pro-independence politician who briefly served as a member of the Legislative Council in late 2016, joined the HKNF as its new spokesperson on 24 September 2018. He was the most high-profile politician to join the HKNF; he resigned from his position following the dissolution of the HKNF's Hong Kong branch.

On 20 July 2019, the Hong Kong Police Force raided a factory unit belonging to the HKNF's then convenor Louis Lo[a] and found a cache of high explosives. Lo was arrested along with two others and charged with possessing unlicensed explosives. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison by the High Court.
