Ma Tau Wai (Chinese: 馬頭圍, originally 碼頭圍, historically 古瑾圍) is an area in the Kowloon City District, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It was originally a walled village (Cantonese: 圍; Wai) between present-day Argyle Street and Prince Edward Road West, east of present-day St. Teresa's Hospital.

The area of Ma Tau Wai is not as well-defined as the original village, as the geographic features have been lost.

The public housing estate Ma Tau Wai Estate is named after the area / the original village.
