Ying Wa College (YWC, Chinese: 英華書院) is a directly subsidised boys' secondary school in Kowloon, Hong Kong. It was established in 1818 in Malacca as the Anglo-Chinese College by Robert Morrison, the first Protestant missionary to China, before being relocated to Hong Kong in 1843. With over 200 years of history, it is the oldest school in Hong Kong.
The College Deed, signed in 1821, outlined the school's mission as the reciprocal cultivation of English and Chinese literature as well as the diffusion of Christianity (促進中西方學術交流，並廣傳基督福音).
