The Seventh Legislative Council of Hong Kong (Chinese: 香港第七立法會; pinyin: Xiānggǎng dì qī lìfǎ huì) is the current meeting of the legislative branch of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government. It is scheduled to meet in the Legislative Council Complex, from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2025, overlapping the six months of Carrie Lam as the fifth term of the Chief Executive and the sixth term of Chief Executive. The membership of the Legislative Council will be determined in the December 2021 election.

Originally scheduled for 6 September 2020, Chief Executive Carrie Lam postponed the election for a whole year on 31 July 2020.[1] On 11 March 2021, the National People's Congress (NPC) passed a decision to drastically overhaul Hong Kong electoral system, which was followed by the Carrie Lam administration promulgated the Improving Electoral System (Consolidated Amendments) Ordinance 2021, which changed the general election of the seventh term of the Legislative Council from 5 September to 19 December 2021.[2] Under the Ordinance, the membership of the Legislative Council increased from 70 to 90 and the members were elected by the Election Committee with 40 seats, functional constituencies with 30 seats, and geographical constituencies with 20 seats respectively.[3]
