Dundas Street (Chinese: 登打士街; pinyin: Dēngdǎshì Jiē; Cantonese Yale: dang1 da2 si6 gaai1) is a street between Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It is the southern boundary of the shopping area in eastern Mong Kok. Ho King Shopping Centre, Ka Lok Shopping Arcade and Trendy Zone are major shopping centres on the street. The street concentrates the food shops of various kinds. It joins with the shopping area of Sai Yeung Choi Street South, Tung Choi Street and Fa Yuen Street. South side of the street is Kwong Wah Hospital.
Across Nathan Road, the section in the western Mong Kok is relative quiet and recently many cafés are opened above street level in several buildings.
This lesser street shares the same name of a more famous street, Dundas Street in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Like the street in Canada, the street is likely named for Henry Dundas or Viscount Melville, British Secretary of State for the Home Department from 1791 to 1801.
