Hong Kong Post (Japanese: 香港ポスト) is a Japanese-language weekly newspaper published in Hong Kong every Friday and owned by Mikuni Company. The newspaper first appeared in June 1987.[1] It used to be sold in shops such as Citysuper, but is now free.[citation needed] It was formerly published by Pasona Press (HK) Co., Ltd.[2]

Financial, economic, and political topics are stressed by this publication, and people working in business fields are the main clientele of the publication.[3] Harumi Befu and Sylvie Guichard-Anguis, authors of Globalizing Japan: Ethnography of the Japanese presence in Asia, Europe, and America, described the paper as "A Major source of information for Hong Kong's Japanese residents".[4]
