Antony Leung Kam-chung (born 29 January 1952 in Hong Kong with family roots in Shunde, Guangdong) was the former Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). He now serves as the chairman of Blackstone Group's Asian office in Hong Kong.

Leung, a former banker and civil service outsider, took the top economic post in one of the world's key financial centres on 1 May 2001. Newspapers said Leung gave up a plump banker's package of more than HK$23 million (US$3 million) a year for a more modest HK$2.45 million.
