Shek Pai Wan ({{lang-zh|t=石排灣}}) or Aberdeen Bay is a bay between Aberdeen on Hong Kong Island and Ap Lei Chau (formerly Aberdeen Island). Its name was formerly romanized as Shekpywan.{{citation |contribution=Hong-Kong |title=Encyclopaedia Britannica |edition=9th |volume=XII |pages=141–2 |date=1878 }}. The bay is one of the traditional fishery ports because the hills on two sides forms a nature shelter. The whole bay is zoned as the Aberdeen West Typhoon Shelter.
Currently, Shek Pai Wan usually refers to Shek Pai Wan Estate, a public housing estate in Aberdeen.
