Hui Aun Association (GPS: 5.41219, 100.3319; Traditional Chinese: 惠安公會; Simplified Chinese: 惠安公会; Penang Hokkien Taiji: Hui33 Aun3 Kong3hoay33; POJ: Hūi-an Kong-hōe, Tâi-lô: Huī-an Kong-huē) is a Hokkien district association founded in 1914. It is located along Magazine Road, across from 1st Avenue Mall. Most of its members are from the working class, including trishaw peddlers, mechanics and construction workers. Women construction workers also joined this association. From this bottom rung of society, a few of its members had risen to become some of the richest and most influential people in Penang. Among them was the late Tan Sri Loh Boon Siew.

The Hui Aun Association is housed in an Art Deco style building from 1938. To celebrate its heritage, the Hui Aun Association recently had its side walls painted with the Woman Construction Workers Mural.
