Tsing Yi Estate ({{zh|t=青衣邨}}) is a public housing estate in Tsing Yi Island, New Territories, Hong Kong near Fung Shue Wo Sports Centre and Tsing Yi Park.{{Cite web|url=https://www.lcsd.gov.hk/clpss/en/webApp/Facility/Details.do?fid=776&did=5|title=Fung Shue Wo Sports Centre|work=Leisure and Cultural Services Department|access-date=13 August 2021}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.lcsd.gov.hk/en/parks/typ/index.html|title=Tsing Yi Park|work=Leisure and Cultural Services Department|access-date=13 August 2021}} It is the only public housing estate on Tsing Yi Island which name does not start with the character Cheung (長). This is because the estate was named in the memory of Tsing Yi Town (青衣墟), a traditional market town which was demolished in the 1980s to make way for new town developments. Since the estate was situated at the seaside of old Tsing Yi Town, part of it is built on reclaimed land. The estate consists of four residential blocks completed in 1986 and 1989 respectively.
