North Point is a mixed-use urban area in the Eastern District of Hong Kong. Located in the northeastern part of Hong Kong Island, the area is named after a cape between Causeway Bay and Tsat Tsz Mui that projects towards Kowloon Bay.

North Point is bounded by Oil Street (油街) to the west and by Tin Chiu Street (電照街) to the east, by Victoria Harbour to the north and Braemar Hill to the southeast. Causeway Bay neighbourhood lies west of North Point, while the Tsat Tsz Mui is east of North Point.

The name 'North Point' was first used by Royal Engineer lieutenant Collinson (1821–1902) in 1845. Appearing in his official survey map to mark the northernmost point in Hong Kong Island.

Although the exact location of North Point was uninhabited before 1845, areas in around North Point have been inhabited since before the British arrived, with Tsat Tsz Mui Village considered as the oldest settlement in the vicinity, most likely established during the early 19th century.

During the early period of the Colonization of Hong Kong, North Point remained relatively barren when compared to other areas on Hong Kong Island such as the vibrant Sheung Wan and Central districts. This was mainly due to lack of flat land around north point.

The first developments in North Point centered around Shaukiwan Road (now Kings Road), such as The Metropole Hotel built in 1899, used until 1906, where the Metropole Building stands today. The hotel was described in an advertisement as a popular resort occupying a charming seaside location, with first class refreshments and dinners. It was later rebranded as Belle View Hotel from 1906 to 1916 (Late Metropole Hotel). and North Point Hotel from 1917 to 1919, which was easily accessible by a tram service every few minutes.

In 1919, the Hongkong Electric Company started operation of the territory's second power station at North Point. Being the first industrial development in North Point, it was built on reclaimed land off the coast. The two original steam turbines of the power station were sourced from Dawson City, Yukon Canada, and were a prized purchase that provided relatively cleaner energy than older generation turbines. Within 10 years the station had increased its generating power from 3,000 to 28,000 kilowatts, a testament to the rapidly expanding electricity needs of Hong Kong Island. Though in 1978 the power station is replaced by City Garden, the adjacent streets Electric Street, Power Street, and Tin Chong Street (lit. 'Power Plant Street') reference the historical power station.

During the 1920s, Ming Yuen (lit. 'Garden of Fame') Amusement Park was built on the hillsides of North Point, and became a popular entertainment venue on Hong Kong Island. The park was easily accessible by tram, there was also a bus service from Shek Tong Tsui. It featured a variety of programs such as circus performances, boxing matches, and open theaters, all of which are often well attended. It was also famous for organizing Dragon Boat racing events off the coast at North Point. Due to various reasons, including competition from the adjacent Lee Garden, the park closed down in the end of the 1930s. Today, Ming Yuen West Street retains the name of the park.
