Lee Shau-kee (Chinese: 李兆基; 20 February 1928 – 17 March 2025) was a Hong Kong business magnate, investor and philanthropist. He was a real estate tycoon and majority owner of Henderson Land Development, a property conglomerate with interests in property, hotels, restaurants and internet services in Hong Kong and other countries. In 2019, aged 91, Lee stepped down as chairman and managing director of the company, in favour of two of his sons, Peter and Martin Lee. He retained a role as an executive director.

His personal wealth was estimated by Bloomberg Billionaires Index to be US$23.2 billion at the time of his death, making him the second wealthiest man in Hong Kong (behind Li Ka-shing), and the 89th richest in the world. Before the handover of Hong Kong in 1997, he was the fourth-richest person in the world.
