Whampoa Garden (Chinese: 黃埔花園) is the largest private housing estate located in Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, and is built on the site of the former Whampoa Dockyards. It was built under the "garden city" concept of Hutchison Whampoa Limited and completed in 1991.

The whole estate consists of 12 complexes. Ten of those complexes are residential/commercial mixed complexes with 88 residential towers. The remaining 2 are solely commercial complexes that includes several shopping arcades, 2 supermarkets (of which one in Site 12 is the first Superstore in Hong Kong), a cinema, dozens of restaurants, 3 primary schools, shops, recreational facilities (mainly sport) and a public transport terminus.

There are 10431 flats, ranging from 350 to 1,110 sq ft. (33 to 103 m²), in the 88 residential towers. The estimated population in the estate is approximately 50,000.
