The Archbishop of Hong Kong (Chinese: 香港聖公會大主教) is the senior bishop, spiritual and moral leader of the Anglican Province of Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui. The archbishop is also Primate of Hong Kong (Chinese: 教省主教長), and both incumbents have, coincidentally, also been Bishop of Hong Kong Island. The Archbishop of the Province is elected from among the bishops by the General Synod in which all Houses meet in a joint session. It is notable that the Archbishop ranks first among the religious leaders in the order of precedence of Hong Kong.
The current Archbishop of Hong Kong is The Most Rev. Dr. Paul Kwong (Chinese: 鄺保羅) and his seat is at St. John's Cathedral. The Bishop's House, located in Central, is the office and official residence of the Archbishop.

Famous quotes containing the word archbishop:
“The archbishop is away. The church is gray.
He has left his robes folded in camphor
And, dressed in black, he walks
Among fireflies.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
