Tseung Kwan O Tunnel (traditional Chinese: 將軍澳隧道; simplified Chinese: 将军澳隧道; Cantonese Yale: jeung1 gwan1 ou3 seui6 dou6) is a 900-metre tunnel beneath Ma Yau Tong in Hong Kong. The tunnel was opened on 9 November 1990.[1] Part of Route 7, it links Sau Mau Ping, Kwun Tong, Kowloon and the Tseung Kwan O New Town, Sai Kung District, the New Territories. It was used by 80,385 vehicles daily in 2011.[2][needs update]

The flat toll fee for the tunnel is HK$3 since opening.[3] The toll fee has been waived since the opening of Tseung Kwan O–Lam Tin Tunnel on 11 December 2022.

This tunnel is connected to Tseung Kwan O Road on the Kowloon side along with its toll plaza, and Tseung Kwan O Tunnel Road on the Tseung Kwan O side.

Tseung Kwan O Tunnel is currently managed by Greater Lucky (H.K.) Company Limited.
