Honours Diploma (Chinese: 榮譽文憑) is an undergraduate qualification in Hong Kong, but it does not officially recognize by the government and public universities. It was awarded by some post-secondary institutions, that were not with university status or officially facilitating quality assurance of all programmes at the levels of sub-degree and first degree.

The above three colleges later passed the accreditation of the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications and successively obtained university status, so they are awarding bachelor's degrees rather than honours diplomas.
