Saint Francis University (formerly Caritas Institute of Higher Education from 2011 to January 2024) is a private university in Tseung Kwan O, New Territories, Hong Kong.

The institute was established by Caritas Hong Kong in 1985. The institute is able to award bachelor's degree or below. It was initially named after Francis Hsu, the Bishop of Hong Kong between 1969 and 1973. Until May 2011, the college was granted the degree-conferring status and it was renamed as Caritas Institute of Higher Education as an institution for its academic awards up to bachelor's degree level. On 9 January 2024, the Executive Council of Hong Kong approved the institute becoming Saint Francis University.[1]
