The Hong Kong Film Award for Best New Director () is an annual Hong Kong industry award presented to a director for a debut or sophomore feature film.
History In 2002, the new category of Outstanding Young Director was introduced to recognize up-and-coming directors, with the inaugural award presented to Stephen Chow for his 2001 film Shaolin Soccer. Two years later, at the 23rd Hong Kong Film Awards, the category was renamed Best New Director and has been awarded annually ever since.
