Tai Po New Town (simplified Chinese: 大埔新市镇; traditional Chinese: 大埔新市鎮; pinyin: Dàpǔ Xīn Shìzhèn), or Tai Po Town (大埔市; Dàpǔ Shì), is a new town in the New Territories, Hong Kong.
The town was designed to be expanded from and incorporate the Tai Po Market, Tai Po Old Market and Tai Wo Market. Extensive reclamation work was carried out near the mouth of the Lam Tsuen River in Tolo Harbour.
The new town is divided between residential and industrial areas, with a mix of public and private housing. The Tai Po Industrial Estate southwest of Ting Kok is one of the major industrial estates in Hong Kong.
