Ngau Tam Mei (Chinese: 牛潭尾; lit. 'Ox Pool End'), also known as Yau Tam Mei (攸潭尾), is a suburb located in San Tin, New Territories, Hong Kong near Yuen Long. It is located at the east of Fairview Park, the north of San Tin village and Kai Kung Leng, the northwest of Lam Tsuen Country Park, and also at the northeast of Nam Sang Wai.

The village lies within an area designated under the Northern Metropolis plan announced by Chief Executive John Lee in his third Policy Address. The plan includes Hong Kong’s third medical school, a university town, and a residential hub covering a total area of 127 hectares. The project has already begun to disrupt traditional ways of life in this part of the northern New Territories.
