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.

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.
