Kowloon East Community is a localist political group formed in late 2014 in Hong Kong by a group of netizens on the online forum Hong Kong Golden Forum who were inspired by 2014 Occupy protests. It focuses on livelihood issues in Kwun Tong District and won a seat in the 2015 Hong Kong district council elections.{{cite news|title=Hong Kong post-Occupy young bloods eye up district council elections|url=http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1759627/hong-kong-post-occupy-young-bloods-eye-district-council-elections|newspaper=South China Morning Post|date=7 April 2015}}
