The Bazaar Temple, at Largo do Bazar, is a Chinese temple in Macau. It was built to worship Marshal Hong Gong, whose wooden statue was found floating by the seaside where the temple now stands. At first a small shrine was built for him, but in 1860 a proper temple was built. It was also dedicated to the God Hung Seng, the Monkey King, Buddha and Hua Tuo (God of Medicine).
The Bazaar Temple displays elements of southern Chinese architecture. It has a courtyard uniting the main elements of the temple. On the roof are coloured ceramic figurines.
