Hongkongers in Britain (Chinese: 英國港僑協會, HKB) is a Hongkonger expatriate association based in the United Kingdom that was established to unite the people of Hong Kong in the UK, and build an alliance with the international Hongkongers community. It was founded by a group of pro-democracy Hongkongers and activists including former British consulate officer Simon Cheng.

The group aims to offer a platform for Hongkongers to support each other, such as advising on setting up businesses,[1] enabling them to rebuild their lives in the UK and nurture a community spirit.[2][3][4] It also calls for expansion of the rights of British National (Overseas) passport holders through lobbying with the government, while promoting the Hong Kong culture in Britain.[citation needed]
