'''Hmong''', eller ''Mong'', er et folk som lever i [[Thailand]], [[Vietnam]], [[Laos]], [[Burma]] og [[Kina]], og siden Vietnamkrigen også i [[USA]].

De utgjør sammenlagt 4-5 millioner og taler fremst [[Hmong (språk)|hmongspråket]]. Av religiøs tilhørighet er de oftest [[buddhister]].

Hmong regnes i Kina som en del av minoritetsgruppen [[Miao (folk)|miao]].

Under [[Vietnamkrigen]] kjempet den laotiske og vietnamesiske hmong-minoriteten på amerikanernes side, noe som medførte at de da [[USA]] trakk ut sine styrker fra landet i [[1973]] ble Hmong-folket i [[Vietnam]] diskriminert og forfulgt av landets kommunistiske regime. Derfor har en stor del av hmongbefolkningen i Vietnam emigrert til [[USA]].

I USA har de oftest slått seg ned i [[Fresno]] og [[Merced County|Merced]] i [[California]], og i [[St. Paul (Minnesota)|St. Paul]] i [[Minnesota]]. Hmongfolket forekommer i [[Clint Eastwood]]s film [[Gran Torino]] fra [[2008]]. De forekommer også i säsong 2 av [[Grey's Anatomy]] der en ung syk pike er hmong. En vanlig seremoni utføres i programmet som en del av historien. I TV-serien House, sesong 8, avsnitt 18, behandler House og hans team en gutt fra hhmongfolket. I flertallet scener er det innslag med sterk og dramatisk tilknytning til khmongkulturen.
