As eleições legislativas de Hong Kong em 2008 foram realizadas em 7 de setembro para a escolha dos membros do Conselho Legislativo de Hong Kong. A estimativa foi de que 3,3 milhões de moradores da região administrativa especial da República Popular da China votem, mesmo os especuladores afirmando que não haverá grandes mudanças, pois o grupo pró-Pequim deve manter a maioria dos assentos.

2008年香港立法會選舉是香港特別行政區成立後的第四屆立法會選舉，於2008年9月7日舉行。與上屆一樣，是次選舉重選立法會全數60個議席，包括30席由地區直選產生之議席及30席由功能界別產生之議席。 泛民主派在地區直選取得19席，較上一屆地方選區多取1席，但功能界別減至4席，惟成功保留立法會的三分之一以上、亦即是21席的關鍵議席數目，惟激進民主派社會民主連線取得3席，從而左右主流民主派。 民建聯整體上席位沒有增減，自由黨在地方選區全軍覆沒，黨正副主席連任失敗，跌到第三大黨；選後4名原屬自由黨的功能界別立法會議員退黨，實力大輻下降，民建聯取代自由黨，成為建制派第一大黨。

The 2008 Hong Kong Legislative Council election was held on 7 September 2008 for the 4th Legislative Council since the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. There were 60 seats in the 4th Legislative Council, with 30 members elected by geographical constituencies through direct elections, and 30 members by functional constituencies. Candidates for 14 functional constituency seats were unopposed. The turnout rate was 45 percent with 1.51 million voters casting the ballots, about 10 percent lower than the previous election in 2004. The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB) remained the largest single party in the Legislative Council with 13 seats if including the two members of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions (FTU) while the pro-business Liberal Party suffered a big defeat by losing the two heavyweights, chairman James Tien and vice-chairwoman Selina Chow lost their seats in the New Territories East and the New Territories West. The duo resigned from their party positions and Chow resigned from the Executive Council after the election, which was followed by a great split of the party. In the backdrop of a deteriorating economy and rising inflation, the pro-grassroots parties scored victories as the new pro-democracy party League of Social Democrats (LSD) had their three candidates elected and the FTU also won in two seats in the geographical constituencies. The pro-democracy flagship party Democratic Party retook the second largest party status despite losing one seat to its ally, the new middle-class oriented Civic Party which took two seats in Hong Kong Island with party leader Audrey Eu stood as the second candidate behind party's new face Tanya Chan. The share of the pan-democratic parties' vote among voters dropped from 60 percent in 2004 to 57 percent, which translated into a net loss of two seats compared to the last election. The pan-democrats were elected to a total of 23 seats, 19 seats in the directly elected geographical constituencies, and four seats from the functional constituencies. By virtue of having in excess of one-third of the seats in Legislative Council, their ability to veto constitutional changes remained intact. The pan-democrats' veto power was seen as crucial for the electoral arrangements for the 2012 Legislative Council election, which would take place during this session.
