The Stephen Hui Geological Museum (許士芬地質博物館) is the first and only geological museum in Hong Kong. It occupies the ground and first floors of the James Hsioung Lee Building on the University of Hong Kong's Main Campus and belongs to the university's Department of Earth Sciences, the only earth sciences department in the city.
The museum opened on 16 January 2009 to put the department's rock collection on public view. It holds around 10,000 catalogued specimens gathered from different parts of the world.
The collection has also produced discoveries. In 2014 a student examining the specimens found a fish fossil estimated to be about 147 million years old, later identified as the first dinosaur-era fish known from Hong Kong. In 2017 the museum hosted the largest exhibition of private geological collections ever held in Hong Kong.
