Housing Bureau (HB) is a policy bureau of the Government of Hong Kong. It is responsible for the housing portfolios. The agency was established on 1 July 2022. The current (since 1 July 2022) Secretary for Housing is Winnie Ho.

This bureau was newly established under the re-organization of policy bureaux proposed by Carrie Lam, the fifth Chief Executive of Hong Kong, and was adopted by John Lee, the succeeding Chief Executive after Carrie Lam.[1] On 19 June 2022, the Central People's Government announced the appointment of Winnie Ho, previously the Director of Architectural Services, as the first Secretary for Housing.[2]
