Tung Chung (Chinese: 東涌) is a station on the Tung Chung line of the MTR rapid transport system in Hong Kong. As the western end of the Tung Chung line, it is also a transfer point of those wishing to use the Ngong Ping Cable Car and by bus to the rest of Lantau Island. As with all other MTR stations, Tung Chung has a unique colour scheme used throughout the station, in this case lavender.

Given that the Tung Chung line and the Airport Express run largely parallel and share much trackage, and that most stations on Tung Chung line are interchange stations, Tung Chung is only one of two stations on the Tung Chung line not served by other lines, the other being Olympic.
