Choi Hung (Chinese: 彩虹; Cantonese Yale: Chóihùhng) is a station on the Hong Kong MTR Kwun Tong line in Ngau Chi Wan. The station is named after the nearby Choi Hung Estate, a public housing estate.

Contract 206 for the construction of this station was awarded to Paul Y. Construction (now Paul Y. Engineering). Choi Hung station was opened when the Kwun Tong line became operational on 1 October 1979.

The station's livery is navy blue with stripes of the colours of the rainbow, as Choi Hung in Cantonese means "rainbow".^[1]

Although there are four platforms at the station, only platforms 1 and 4 are fully functional. There are three tracks that run through the station, with platforms 2 and 3 sharing the middle track that is located in the middle of the station. The middle track is primarily used as a siding, and it leads to the Kowloon Bay MTR depot, located west of Kowloon Bay. Platform 2 is the termination platform for back-to-depot trains, while Platform 3 is the boarding platform for out-of-depot trains towards Whampoa.

The platform screen doors of the third track served as prototypes in 2001 when MTR started to test the feasibility of installing these doors in stations throughout its system.
