Tso Wung-wai (Chinese: 曹宏威 ; born 28 February 1941), BBS, NPC delegate, is an adjunct professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, as well as a political activist.
Tso Wung-wai completed his bachelor's degree in biochemistry at CUHK, took an M.Sc in Miami, and went on to study for his Ph.D at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He is a member of the Hong Kong Progressive Alliance (HKPA).
Prior to the Hong Kong Legislative Council election, 2004 (the LegCo election), the pro-Beijing camp estimated that the competition would be fierce. Some of the HKPA LegCo candidates were persuaded to quit the election, in an attempt to enable Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB) candidates to stand a higher chances of obtaining LegCo seats. In response to this, David Chu Yu-lin, originally a candidate for the LegCo constituency of the New Territories East, was replaced by Tso. He had a slim chance of obtaining a seat in the election, and unsurprisngly he lost, gaining 14,174 votes.
During his campaigns, Tso gained prominence for his slogans. One of his best-known slogans is 科學求真，智識救港 (which means literally: To seek the truth with science, and to save Hong Kong with knowledge).
