Laguna City was one of the earliest large-scale private-housing estates built in Lam Tin, Kwun Tong District, in Kowloon, Hong Kong. It was developed jointly by Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa and completed in the early 1990s.

Laguna City is built along Lam Tin's waterfront. Part of Laguna City is built on reclaimed land. Laguna City consists of four phases, totalling 38 towers at its 1991 completion. Built together with Laguna City was Laguna Park, which was completed in 1994 and then handed over to the Urban Council, now the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. Laguna Park has a total area of 30,000 sq m (320,000 ft²). Phases 1, 2 and 4 of Laguna City are managed by the same company, while Phase 3 has an independent management authority. Similarly, Phases 1, 2 and 4 share an owners' committee, whereas Phase 3 has its own.[citation needed]

The development is adjacent to Cha Kwo Ling Village, described as the last squatter village in Hong Kong.[1]
