The Hong Kong Police Marching Band also known as the HKPF Marching Band is a ceremonial unit and a police band of the Hong Kong Police Force and is used for official events. It was established in 1954 and initially performed with the Hong Kong Police Silver Band (formed in 1951). Both bands merged to form a single band and was later renamed the Royal Hong Kong Police Pipe Band.

The Pipe Band colours is the MacIntosh tartan and was adopted in memory of a former Commissioner of Police, Duncan William MacIntosh, after which the MacIntosh Forts were also named.[1]
