Cheuk Ming-ho (born 18 May 2002) is a Hong Kong freestyle swimmer who once held 11 Hong Kong records and was nicknamed the little flying fish. A product of the Hoi Tin Athletic Association, he was strong over both short and middle distances. In a local time trial he lowered his own Hong Kong 200m freestyle record to within 0.59 seconds of the Olympic A standard of 1:47.02, and his 100m freestyle of 49.15 was also a Hong Kong record that met the Olympic B standard. In 2022 he competed at the 16th FINA World Swimming Championships (25m) in Melbourne, swimming 22.93 in the men's 50m freestyle. In 2023 he was selected for the Hong Kong, China delegation to the Hangzhou Asian Games, but later that year the Hong Kong Sports Institute said he had breached discipline three times during 2023, and after consultation with coaches and the Hong Kong China Swimming Association it revoked his institute scholarship-athlete status on 1 December, after which he left the Hong Kong swimming team; Cheuk said he did not know which rules he had broken, while the institute said it had followed established procedures and had received no appeal. Once seen as a hope for Hong Kong men's freestyle, his career was cut short by the disciplinary episode.
