The Transport and Housing Bureau (THB) was an agency of the Government of Hong Kong between 2007 and 2022, responsible for a range of policies such as the internal and external transportation, including air transport, land transport, maritime transport, logistics and housing development in Hong Kong.[1] The bureau was headed by the Secretary for Transport and Housing (STH).

The bureau was formed on 1 July 2007 to take over the transport portfolios previously under the purview of the Environment, Transport and Works Bureau, and the public housing portfolios of the Housing, Planning and Lands Bureau. On 1 July 2022, the THB was split up into the Transport and Logistics Bureau (TLB) and the Housing Bureau.
