Cheung Sha Wan (長沙灣; Chèuhngsāwàahn; 'Long Sandy Bay') is an area between Lai Chi Kok and Sham Shui Po in New Kowloon, Hong Kong. It is mainly residential to the north and south, with an industrial area in between. Administratively it is part of Sham Shui Po District, which also includes Lai Chi Kok.

The 灣 in its Cantonese name would normally be pronounced as wāan with a first, high-flat tone; however, in this particular case, the tone shifts to a fourth, low-falling tone, making it wàahn instead. The same tone shift happens in the Cantonese names of To Kwa Wan (土瓜灣; Tóugwāwàahn) and Causeway Bay (銅鑼灣; Tùhnglòhwàahn), though Tùhnglòhwāan with a first tone is also common.
