Ven. Sik Kok Kwong (釋覺光; pinyin: Shì Juéguāng; Cantonese Yale romanisation: Sīk Gók Gwōng) (born ca. 1919) is the current president of the Hong Kong Buddhist Association. He is also the Honorary Vice-President of the World Buddhist Sangha Council.

In a 2004 interview with the South China Morning Post, Sik Kok Kwong urged Hong Kong's Buddhists to be content with the government and not to attend protests.[1]

Ven. Kok Kwong was one of eight venerables who proposed the World Buddhist Forum in China in 2004, a suggestion that won support from Buddhist circles in countries like Japan and the Republic of Korea.
