Shek Pai Wan Estate is a public housing estate in Shek Pai Wan of Aberdeen, Hong Kong, on a hill to the east of the town centre. It comprises eight standard residential blocks, a non-standard small household block, a primary school, a shopping centre and a bus terminus.

Background
Shek Pai Wan Estate was a resettlement estate and it consisted of seven blocks built between 1966 and 1968. In 1985, Block 2 was found to have structural problems by the Hong Kong Housing Authority, so it was firstly demolished in 1988.

The estate started redevelopment in 1998 and the redevelopment project was divided into three phases. However, Phases 1 and 2 were combined and renamed as Phase 1 whereas Phase 3 was renamed as Phase 2 later. There are seven new blocks completed in 2005 and 2007 respectively. Some of the flats were used to accommodate the tenants affected by the redevelopment of Wong Chuk Hang Estate.

Houses
Shek Pai Wan Estate has eight residential blocks with a total of around 5,300 flats.
