Hei Ling Chau (喜靈洲) is an island of Hong Kong, located east of Lantau Island, with an area of 1.93 km². Administratively, it is part of the Islands District.
There is an addiction treatment centre on the island; students often get a chance to visit the island by joining preventive drug education programs. In 2004, the HKSAR government proposed to spend HKD$12 billion to build a "super jail" on the island. The proposal was strongly opposed by the general public and experts alike, and thus has been shelved indefinitely.
