Consulate General of the United States, Hong Kong and Macau 美國駐香港及澳門總領事館
Address	No. 26, Garden Road, Central, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong
Ambassador	Kurt W. Tong (Consul General)

The Consulate General of the United States, Hong Kong and Macau represents the United States in the Hong Kong and Macau Special Administrative Regions of the People's Republic of China.

It has been located at 26 Garden Road, Central, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong since the late 1950s. The current Consul General is Kurt W. Tong, who has served since July 2016.

Due to Hong Kong and Macau's special status, the U.S. Consulate General to Hong Kong operates as an independent mission, with the Consul General as the "Chief of Mission". Unlike other Consuls-General, they have the title of "Ambassador."

Consequently, the Consul General to Hong Kong and Macau is not under the jurisdiction of the United States Ambassador to China, and reports directly to the U.S. Department of State as do other Chiefs of Mission, who are Ambassadors in charge of Embassies.

All recent Consuls-General are at the Career Minister rank in the U.S. Senior Foreign Service, whereas many other Ambassadors are only Minister Counsellor.
