Tung Chung West (Chinese: 東涌西) is the proposed MTR terminus station of the Tung Chung line, west of Tung Chung, Lantau Island, New Territories, Hong Kong, which would follow on from Tung Chung station. When Yat Tung Estate (Trad. Chinese: 逸東邨) in Tung Chung West was constructed, the MTR Corporation and the Hong Kong SAR Government reserved a site to build the station. It will replace Airport as the westernmost railway station in Hong Kong when it opens in 2029.
The station is planned to be located to the west of Yat Tung Estate.
