Sai Ying Pun 西營盤 is a neighbourhood on the northwestern part of Hong Kong Island. It is located to the east of Shek Tong Tsui and Kennedy Town, to the west of Sheung Wan, and to the north of Mid-levels.

Sai Ying Pun means "western military base". It got its name from the British military installation that was once located there. Queen's Road, named after Queen Victoria, was the first road through the neighbourhood. Since then, the area has become densely developed, with high rise apartments and flats standing close to one another.
