- Hawkers in Hong Kong (Chinese: 小販) are vendors of street food and inexpensive goods. They are found in urban areas and new towns alike, although certain districts such as Mong Kok, Sham Shui Po, and Kwun Tong are known for high concentrations of hawkers. For many decades, hawking has served as a means for the lower class to make a living in Hong Kong, and allowed patrons to benefit from the convenience and low cost of hawker goods. However, the government has long considered the practice to be detrimental to public hygiene, and it has therefore been controlled by the Urban Council and its successor, the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department.

- 香港小販是指在香港街頭販賣貨品的小販，他們多以販賣低廉貨品及食物為主。 此一行業於香港開埠初期便已出現，並於戰後至20世紀70年代初期期間盛行。到了80年代，香港小販因政府態度改變及城市發展步伐加快而式微。 多年來，小贩一直是香港低下阶层的谋生手段之一，並能讓市民以低廉的價格滿足生活所需。不過政府卻一直認為小販擺賣「不衛生」，並透過市政局及後來的食物環境衞生署（食環署），對之加以規管及取締。 (zh)
