Kwai Hing station is an elevated railway station on the Tsuen Wan Line of Hong Kong MTR system. It is named after the nearest public housing estate, and is between Kwai Fong and Tai Wo Hau Stations.

Opened in 1982, it forced most direct bus service into Kowloon be cancelled. Nevertheless, the station provided convenient transport service to local residents, also attracting some local shuttle services with nearby settlements and factories.

Below the platforms is a small transport interchange. This interchange is saturated with traffic, due to traffic diverted from the increasingly crowded Kwai Fong Station.
