Hok Yau Club (Chinese: 學友社) is an independent and non-profit non-governmental organisation (NGO) in Hong Kong. It is a peripheral organisation of the Chinese Communist Party.
Its aim is to provide support and guidance to students as well as to organise activities for youths. Since the transfer of the sovereignty of Hong Kong back to the People's Republic of China in 1997, the club has launched a number of civic projects to promote patriotic education to the younger generation. The motto of the club is "To Learn and To Serve"（「探求真知，服務社會」）.
The Club has three venues: Head Office in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon, which also serves as the club's Kowloon Centre, Island Centre in North Point, Hong Kong Island, and a Student Guidance Centre in Cheung Sha Wan, Kowloon.
It was founded as "Hok Yau Dancing Club" (學友中西舞蹈研究社) in April 1949. After a prolonged discussion among the members of a readers club of the Overseas Chinese Daily (華僑日報), a popular Hong Kong newspaper at the time, it adopted the current name in 1975 to reflect the changing nature of the organisation.
The Annual general meeting (AGM) is the titular governing body of the Club. It consists of all qualified Voting members with annual membership subscription. The AGM must take place at least once a year. Its function includes scrutinising the performance of the Standing Committee and the financial report of the Club. The appointment of Honorary presidents of the Club must be ratified in the AGM.
The AGM is also the electoral body of the Standing Committee and each qualified Voting member is entitled to cast his vote in the election.
The Standing Committee is the governing body of the Club while the AGM is not sitting.
The Club's constitution limits the number of the Committee should consist of six members but no more than nine. Qualified voting members are eligible to vote and stand for the Standing Committee election.
