The Silent Majority for Hong Kong () is an anti-Occupy Central pro-Beijing political group in Hong Kong. It was founded on 8 August 2013 by members of the pro-Beijing alliance including former RTHK radio host Robert Chow and Professor of Economics at Lingnan University Ho Lok-sang.

Chow took this to mean 75% of Hong Kong people were the "silent majority" that supported his group. Although members of the survey team challenged the interpretation, Chow continued to trumpet his assertion. YouTube video On 17 June 2014, the group posted a video on YouTube entitled "They can kill the city!", depicting possible repercussions of the Occupy Central movement. The video shows total chaos in Hong Kong should an occupation of Central take place, such as territory-wide traffic jams, automatic weapons and people dying of strokes. Members of the pro-democracy camp and supporters of the Occupy Central movement criticised the group's use of fearmongering tactics and exaggeration in an attempt
