The Foreign Correspondents' Club (FCC) in Hong Kong, founded 1949, is Asia's premier meeting place for the media, business and diplomatic community.

- Journalist
- Associate (in this category anyone can join)
- International media-related corporate
- Diplomatic
The FCC has a main bar, main dining room, Bert's, the club's new cellar jazz bar and a gym with sauna, steam room and whirl pool.
The club's membership is drawn from a broad cross section of walks of life and includes many of Hong Kong's best known and most interesting people.
It ranges from the reporters, photographers and radio and television teams who record and present the news to those who make it - starting with the Chief Executive of the territory and including many leading figures in the worlds of business and diplomacy.
The calibre of the membership confers a special prestige on the club as a speaker's forum.
When prominent international figures from the worlds of commerce, politics or entertainment visit Hong Kong, many choose to address the FCC's speaker lunches as the best means of reaching their desired audience - both directly and through rnedia coverage of the events.
Located in the original Ice House at the top of Ice House Street the Club occupies one of the few remaining colonial buildings in core Central. Socially and geographically the FCC is very much at the heart of Hong Kong.
