香港高等法院原訟法庭（英語：Court of First Instance of the High Court of Hong Kong），簡稱原訟法庭或原訟庭（英語：Court of First Instance），是香港高等法院組成部份之一。 原訟法庭是香港最高級的原訟法院，對民事和刑事案件均有無限的司法管轄權，因此原訟法庭審理一般最嚴重的罪行例如謀殺、誤殺、強姦、持械行劫、販運大量毒品或危險藥物、綁架、複雜的商業詐騙及香港國安法罪行等。除有關中華人民共和國的國防和外交等國家行為外，原訟法庭可聆訊香港任何的刑事訴訟。至於民事索償方面，只會聆訊金額不少於港幣一百萬元的案件；該庭亦處理來自各區的裁判法院、小額錢債審裁處、淫褻物品審裁處、勞資審裁處和的上訴案件。

The Court of First Instance is the lower court of the High Court of Hong Kong, the upper court being the Court of Appeal. Formerly the High Court of Justice of the Supreme Court of Hong Kong, it was renamed the Court of First Instance by the Basic Law after the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to China. The Court of First Instance is the highest court in Hong Kong that can hear cases at first instance with unlimited jurisdiction in both civil and criminal matters. It hears predominantly civil cases but only relatively few criminal cases were heard at first instance, mostly involving the most serious crimes such as homicide offences, rape, serious drugs offences and major commercial frauds. It is also an appellate court hearing appeals against decisions made by Masters as well as those of:
* Magistrates' Courts
* Small Claims Tribunal
* Obscene Articles Tribunal
* Labour Tribunal
* Minor Employment Claims Adjudication Board It is the only court in Hong Kong where cases are tried by a judge with a jury (although the inquisition in Coroner's court may involve a jury). The Basic Law only maintains 'the trial by jury previously practised in Hong Kong' but it does not make jury trial an absolute right. In the case of Chiang Lily v Secretary for Justice, the court confirmed that "there does not exist, in Hong Kong, any absolute right to trial by jury nor any mechanism by which a person to be tried of an indictable offence may elect to be so tried" (per Wright J.). A defendant will only face a jury trial if he is tried in the Court of First Instance, and the decision is the prerogative of the Secretary for Justice. The Court of First Instance is bound by the ratio of previous decisions of higher courts (including the Court of Final Appeal and Court of Appeal of the High Court, as well as all Hong Kong cases previously decided by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council) that have not been overruled.
