The Holy Spirit Seminary (Chinese: 聖神修院) is the seminary which is affiliated with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong. Since its foundation in 1931 as the "Regional Seminary for South China" (Chinese: 華南總修院), it has provided theological and pastoral formation to young men who aspire to serve the Church as diocesan priests.

Its Seminary College also provides courses in theology and philosophy for lay students.
