Tai Wo Hau (Chinese: 大窩口, Jyutping: Daai6 Wo1 Hau2, Pinyin: Dàwōkǒu) is an MTR station between Tsuen Wan and Kwai Hing stations on the Tsuen Wan Line. It serves the areas of Kwai Yin Court and Tai Wo Hau Estate in the Kwai Tsing District, and some resited villages (such as Kwan Mun Hau Tsuen) in he Tsuen Wan District of Hong Kong. These villages were originally in Tsuen Wan town centre, being moved for new town development.

Tai Wo Hau Station was one of the first underground railway stations in the New Territories, and arguably the first: All other New Territories stations on the Tsuen Wan Line are either surface or on viaducts, except that Lai King Station cuts a hillside slope, and all other New Territories underground stations were opened years later.

The station is relatively less popular in the system because of its distance with nearby bus stops and settlements.
