The Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office (HKMAO), is an administrative agency under the State Council of China, responsible for promoting cooperation and coordination of political, economic, and cultural ties between mainland China and the Chinese Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau. It was established in 1978. Its head office is in Xicheng District, Beijing.

Under the "one institution with two names" arrangement, it is also the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee's Hong Kong and Macao Work Office under the Central Leading Group for Hong Kong and Macau Affairs. It was formed in 2023 on the basis of then State Council's Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office.
