Hung Hom (Chinese: 紅磡; Cantonese Yale: Hùngham) (formerly named Kowloon until 1996) is a passenger railway station in Hung Hom Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Its livery is light red. It is an interchange station between the East Rail line and the Tuen Ma line domestic services of the MTR network. This station serves as the southern terminus of the East Rail Line in the early morning, before the first northbound train from Admiralty arrives. The station is located next to the Cross-Harbour Tunnel's northern portal, and thus it is also served by many cross-harbour bus routes.

Opened as the new southern terminus of the Kowloon–Canton Railway (KCR) on 24 November 1975, the station was substantially expanded in the 1990s, at which time it was given its present name. The KCR British Section was also renamed KCR East Rail in order to differentiate it from the new KCR West Rail, which opened on 20 December 2003 and was extended to Hung Hom station on 16 August 2009.

As part of the Sha Tin to Central Link project, the East Rail line was extended across Victoria Harbour to Admiralty via a new immersed tube tunnel to the south of Hung Hom. The West Rail line was also extended via eastern Kowloon to connect to the former Ma On Shan line, with the combined line being renamed "Tuen Ma line".

Hung Hom station also served as the southern terminus of cross-border through-trains from mainland China, which were halted in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and officially ended in 2024.
