The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region delegation to the National People's Congress are the deputies from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to the National People's Congress (NPC), the highest organ of state power of the People's Republic of China. The Hong Kong deputies to the National People's Congress account for 1.2% of the total number of deputies to the National People's Congress.
During the British Hong Kong period, the Hong Kong deputies to the NPC from the 1st to the 8th sessions were elected indirectly by the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress from among its Hong Kong members. According to the Hong Kong Basic Law, all Hong Kong deputies to the NPC must be Chinese citizens residing in Hong Kong. Another duty they have is to participate in the election of the chief executive as members of the Election Committee. Currently, NPC deputies from Hong Kong is elected by Chinese citizens who were deputies to the previous NPC, members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), and members of the Election Committee, in accordance with the election procedures established by the NPC for that term.
