The Diocese of Eastern Kowloon (Chinese: 東九龍教區) is one of the three dioceses under the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui (Chinese: 香港聖公會). Its territory covers most part of eastern New Territories and eastern Kowloon. Holy Trinity Cathedral, cathedral of the Diocese, was established in 1890, making it one of the oldest Anglican churches in Hong Kong. Incumbent Bishop, Timothy Kwok, was elected on 30 March 2014 and enthroned on 23 November 2014, replacing the outgoing Bishop, Louis Tsui.

The Diocese was constituted in conformity with the traditions of the Anglican Communion. Since its establishment, it has cooperated with other two Dioceses in many issues under the metropolitical body of the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui, the General Synod.

As a member of the Province, the Diocese confesses the faith revealed in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments; the Apostles’, Nicene and Athanasian Creeds. The Diocese has preserved the old roots of the Christian faith through its historic Anglican traditions: the Book of Common Prayer and the holy orders.
