De protesten in Hongkong (Chinees: 香港抗议;. pinyin Xiānggǎng Kangyi), of parapluprotesten (Chinees: 雨傘運動; pinyin Yǔsǎn Yundong) - begonnen op 22 september 2014 in Hongkong nadat een door China ingestelde nominatiecommissie de kandidaten voor de verkiezingen van de Chief Executive of Hong Kong in 2017 bekendgemaakt had. De betogers wilden dat China zich niet bemoeit met de kandidatenlijst en eisten politieke hervormingen. De protesten hadden geen effect. In 2019 zijn negen leiders door de rechter veroordeeld voor het veroorzaken van openbare overlast.
