Lo Kong Wai (Chinese: 羅港威; Jyutping: lo⁴ gong² wai¹; born 19 June 1992) is a Hong Kong professional footballer who currently plays as a winger for Hong Kong Premier League club North District.

He joined Hong Kong Third Division club Sham Shui Po when he was young. In 2008, youth team members were all promoted to the club's first team to gain experience.

However, he was notable for scoring a goal from South China in the first leg of quarter-finals in Senior Shield, helping the team gain a 1–1 draw.
