Prince of Wales Hospital (Template:Zh-t), located in Sha Tin of New Territories in Hong Kong, is a public hospital and the teaching hospital of the Medical Faculty of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Opened in 1984, Prince of Wales Hospital provides about 1 360 hospital beds and 24 hours accident and emergency service with almost 4 000 staff. It is also the regional hospital of the Eastern New Territories serving Shatin, Tai Po, North New Territories, Sai Kung and the outlying islands in East New Territories.

This hospital is made world-famous (or perhaps infamous) during the SARS outbreak in Hong Kong.

The hospital is also supported by the Li Ka-shing Specialist Clinics for specialty outpatient services.

The Hospital Governing Committee (HGC) is the ultimate decision making authority of the hospital.

The chief executive of the Prince of Wales Hospital is Dr. Fung Hong.

The hospital was named after Charles, Prince of Wales.
