Hollington K Tong (Шаблон:Zh); 9 November 1887 – 9 January 1971) was a Chinese journalist and diplomat.

Tong was from a poor Chinese Christian family. He graduated in journalism from the University of Missouri, and from the first class of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in 1913.[1] Upon returning to China, he worked as a journalist and later became the chief editor of a large English-language newspaper in Shanghai.[2] He also was the official biographer of Chiang Kai-shek.[3]

Tong was appointed Vice-Minister of Information of the Republic of China (Taiwan),[4] Ambassador of the Republic of China to Japan,[3][5] and Ambassador of the Republic of China to the United States (1956-1958).[6] In the latter role, he was replaced by George Yeh.[7]

Hollington K. Tong died on 9 January 1971, in a nursing home in Monterey, California, at the age of 83.[8]
