蕭志韻（Jo Siu），香港裁判法院裁判官，在香港出生。她二○○三年在香港大學取得理學士（測量學）學位，二○○七年取得倫敦大學法學士學位，二○○八年在香港大學取得法學專業證書，二○○九年在香港獲大律師資格。她二○○九年至二○一○年期間私人執業，二○一○年至二○一一年加入律政司出任政府律師，自二○一一年起她再次以大律師身分私人執業。
二○二○年四月二十日，蕭志韻獲委任為常任裁判官，與周慧珠、翟國怡、林澤銘、楊綺娜、龍軍庭、屈麗雯、余俊翔及施祖堯同日履新，任命由行政長官根據司法人員推薦委員會的推薦作出。她先修測量學、後轉讀法律，兼具理科與法律兩方面的訓練；在律政司任政府律師的一年間，她亦接觸過政府的法律事務。
裁判法院是香港的初級刑事法院，處理絕大部分刑事案件，裁判官亦須處理保釋申請、簽發手令、規管事宜及部分小額申索，日常案件量甚大。由大律師及前政府律師轉任裁判官，是香港司法任命的常見來源之一。《基本法》第八十八條訂明，法官須由行政長官根據一個獨立委員會的推薦而委任，任命以專業能力為本。蕭志韻由私人執業加入司法機構，其跨學科的學習背景在同儕中較為少見。截至二○二六年，她仍在裁判官名單之列，繼續在裁判法院審案。

Jo Siu is a magistrate of the Magistrates' Courts of Hong Kong, born in Hong Kong. She obtained a Bachelor of Science in Surveying from the University of Hong Kong in 2003, an LL.B. from the University of London in 2007 and a Postgraduate Certificate in Laws from the University of Hong Kong in 2008, and was called to the Hong Kong Bar in 2009. She practised privately from 2009 to 2010, joined the Department of Justice as a Government Counsel from 2010 to 2011, and has practised privately at the Bar again since 2011.
On 20 April 2020, Siu was appointed a Permanent Magistrate, taking office with Chau Wai-chu, Chak Kwok-yee, Lam Chak-ming, Yeung Yee-na, Lung Kwan-ting, Wat Lai-man, Yu Chun-cheung and Sze Cho-yiu; the appointment was made by the Chief Executive on the recommendation of the Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission. She first studied surveying and later turned to law, combining training in science and in law; during her year as a Government Counsel in the Department of Justice she also dealt with the Government's legal work.
The Magistrates' Courts are Hong Kong's court of first instance for criminal matters, dealing with the great majority of criminal cases; magistrates also handle bail applications, the issue of warrants, regulatory matters and certain small claims, with a heavy daily caseload. Moving from the Bar, or from the post of Government Counsel, to the magistracy is a common source of judicial appointments in Hong Kong. Article 88 of the Basic Law provides that judges shall be appointed by the Chief Executive on the recommendation of an independent commission, appointments being based on professional ability. Siu came to the Judiciary from private practice, and her interdisciplinary studies are relatively uncommon among her colleagues. She remained on the list of serving magistrates as at 2026, continuing to hear cases in the Magistrates' Courts.
