The Hong Kong Film Award for Best New Director (Chinese: 香港電影金像獎新晉導演) is an annual Hong Kong industry award presented to a director for a debut or sophomore feature film.

In 2002, the new category of Outstanding Young Director was introduced to recognize up-and-coming directors, with the inaugural award presented to Stephen Chow for his 2001 film Shaolin Soccer. Two years later, at the 23rd Hong Kong Film Awards, the category was renamed Best New Director and has been awarded annually ever since.[1]
