The Macau Special Administrative Region delegation to the National People's Congress are the deputies from the Macau Special Administrative Region to the National People's Congress (NPC), the highest organ of state power of the People's Republic of China.
During the Portuguese Macau period, the Macau deputies to the NPC from the 4th to the 9th sessions were elected indirectly by the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress from among its Macau members. According to the Macau Basic Law, all Macau deputies to the NPC must be Chinese citizens residing in Macau. They are nominated by the election procedures and then formally elected. Their qualifications are then submitted to the Credentials Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for review, and the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress confirms their qualifications and publishes the list of deputies
