The Hong Kong ePrix was an annual race of the single-seater, electrically powered Formula E championship, held at the Hong Kong Central Harbourfront Circuit in Hong Kong. The track was touted as a potential venue for the all-electric series’ inaugural race. It was first raced in the 2016–17 season as the first major international motorsport event in Hong Kong.

In its third run in the 2018–19 season, the 2019 Hong Kong ePrix became the 50th race of Formula E since the series' inception in 2014. It was widely expected to be the first wet race in Formula E racing history. Drivers tested the grip levels in both shakedown and practice sessions on a fully wet track, but it did not eventuate. The ePrix was subsequently dropped from the 2019–20 calendar.
