HC Kunlun Red Star (simplified Chinese: 昆仑红星; traditional Chinese: 崑崙紅星; pinyin: Kūnlún Hóngxīng) was a professional ice hockey club based in Beijing, China. It was a member of the Tarasov Division in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). The club joined the KHL prior to the 2016–17 season.
Kunlun Red Star was originally established as part of China's preparations for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. However, the team's connection to Chinese hockey was limited. Since the COVID-19 era, the club has played its home games in Mytishchi, Russia, and its roster is built primarily around North American imports. In their final season, there was not a single China-born player on the team.
On 6 August 2025, the team announced it was relocating to Shanghai to become the Shanghai Dragons.
