The Eighth Legislative Council of Hong Kong is the upcoming meeting of the legislative branch of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government. Its term of office will begin on 1 January 2026. ^[1]

This is the second "patriot-only" parliament, and is composed of solely pro-Beijing members for the first time without any legislator claiming to be from the "non-establishment". The allocation of seats remains the same as the last session; only 20 seats were elected directly through geographical constituencies, plus 40 seats selected by the Election Committee and 20 seats allocated to the functional constituencies.

Starry Lee was elected as the president of the council on 8 January 2026. Chan Chun-ying and Starry Lee were the only two nominees for the position. ^[2]
