The Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal (Chinese: 港澳碼頭), also known as the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Pier, is a pier located in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. It is one of the three piers in Hong Kong that provides ferry services to Macau and cities in southern China, along with the Hong Kong-China Ferry Terminal and the Tuen Mun Ferry Pier.
