The Societies Ordinance is a piece of primary legislation in Hong Kong. It was enacted in 1911 and has undergone major revisions. The Ordinance regulates incorporated and unincorporated associations of persons (broadly defined as "societies") and requires registrations (unless regulated under a different ordinance or otherwise exempted). In other words, it prohibits informal or secret societies and poses limits to freedom of association. It also prohibits Triad Societies and modern successor gangs.

| - 《社團條例》為香港法例第151章,該條例於1911年由香港立法局制定,後來經過多次重大修訂。社團條例的立法歷史與公安條例相近,先有戰前參照英國及海峽殖民地嚴苛法律的源頭,後來為應對共產政權滲透的威脅予以收緊,直至90年代應香港人權法案的要求而放寬。條例亦如公安條例般,90年代的人權相關修訂被臨時立法會還原。 社團條例可分為兩部分,首先是為沒有專屬法例規管的團體訂立籠統的規管條文,另一部分則是禁止及針對黑社會的條文。條例要求所有受條例規管的團體提交註冊,否則團體的幹事將招致刑責。換言之,該條例禁止私下及秘密結社。此外,條例授權當局向社團索取「根據本條例履行職能而合理需要的資料」,包括財政資料,藉此監控團體的運作與連繫。 (zh)

| - The Societies Ordinance is a piece of primary legislation in Hong Kong. It was enacted in 1911 and has undergone major revisions. The Ordinance regulates incorporated and unincorporated associations of persons (broadly defined as "societies") and requires registrations (unless regulated under a different ordinance or otherwise exempted). In other words, it prohibits informal or secret societies and poses limits to freedom of association. It also prohibits Triad Societies and modern successor gangs. The legislative history of the Societies Ordinance is similar to the Public Order Ordinance. Their roots can be traced to the draconian anti-communist law in Singapore. They were gradually relaxed, up to the 1990s when they were brought in line with international human rights standards. Upon Hong Kong handover, the human rights amendments in the 1990s were reverted by the NPCSC of China. (en)
