Wu Kwok Hung (Chinese: 胡國雄; Jyutping: wu⁴ gwok³ hung⁴, born 22 May 1949 – 15 June 2015), nicknamed "Big Head", was a famous football player in Hong Kong. He played in Hong Kong First Division League teams including Tung Sing, South China and Seiko as a midfielder.

He joined Tung Sing in 1968 and played in the team for 3 years. In 1971–72, he played with South China. After that, he joined Seiko, where he helped the club to win more than 40 tropies in 14 years, including the 1983–84 championship and Senior Viceroy Cup.

Wu also won many individual prizes, including 4 consecutive time winner of Hong Kong Footballer of the Year between 1979 and 1982, and was part of Hong Kong's famous 1985 World Cup qualifying victory in China that ended the hopes of the mainland reaching the Mexico World Cup finals the following year.

After 1985–86 season, Seiko left the league and Wu also retired from professional football. A testimonial match for Wu was held which attracted a full house at the then 28,000 seater Hong Kong Stadium, proving his huge popularity with the fans.

He died on 15 June 2015 at the Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital from laryngeal cancer, aged 66.
