The Progressive Hong Kong Society (Chinese: 香港勵進會; PHKS) was a political group in Hong Kong. It was established on 14 February 1985 by the then Executive and Legislative Council member Maria Tam. The party is considered conservative and pro-Beijing, in contrast to the pro-democracy forces which rose to prominence in the late 1980s and early 90s.

The society's stated mission was to support the implementation of the Sino-British Joint Declaration and maintain Hong Kong's prosperity and stability.[1] It was merged into the Liberal Democratic Federation of Hong Kong in 1990. Notable members of the group included pro-Beijing businessmen and politicians James Tien and Vincent Lo, and future Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying.[1][2]
