Kellett Bay (Chinese: 奇力灣), or Kai Lung Wan (雞籠灣) is a bay on southwestern Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong, to the southeast of Waterfall Bay.

The pronunciation of Wan (灣) in Kai Lung Wan in the Cantonese language is like the one in 環 (as in Cheung Sha Wan, To Kwa Wan and Causeway Bay (Tung Lo Wan)).[1]

Kellett Bay was named after the naval officer Sir Henry Kellett. Kellett Island and Mount Kellett were also named after him.[2][3]
