Ip Kwok-him, GBS, JP (Chinese: 葉國謙; born 8 November 1951) is an unofficial member of the Executive Council of Hong Kong, having been in the position since March 2016. He is also former member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong for the District Council (First) functional constituency and Hong Kong delegate to the National People's Congress and the former convenor of the caucus of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB) in the Legislative Council.
Ip was born in Hong Kong on 8 November 1951 to a driver father. His father came from Guangzhou before the Communist Party of China took over. He studied at the Hon Wah College, a leftist pro-Communist school in the Western District. He later graduated from the South China Normal University with a degree in Bachelor of Art in Geography. After he graduated, he returned to the Hon Wah College as a teacher and had taught for 20 years.
During the Hong Kong 1967 Leftist Riots, he was member of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Committee for Anti-Hong Kong British Persecution Struggle as a student of the Hon Wah College when he was 15 of age. He was sent to Macao by the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions (HKFTU) to learn about the December 3 Incident launched by the Macao leftists which successfully led to the concession from Portuguese colonial government.
