Hollington Kong Tong (); 9 November 1887 – 9 January 1971) was a Chinese journalist and diplomat.
Tong was from a poor Chinese Christian family. He graduated with a B.A. in journalism from the University of Missouri, and then from the first class of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in 1913. Upon returning to China, he worked as a journalist and later became the chief editor of a large English-language newspaper in Shanghai. He also was the official biographer of Chiang Kai-shek.
Tong was appointed Vice-Minister of Information of the Republic of China (Taiwan), Ambassador of the Republic of China to Japan, and Ambassador of the Republic of China to the United States (1956-1958). In the latter role, he was replaced by George Yeh.
Tong died on 9 January 1971, in a nursing home in Monterey, California, at the age of 83.
