The name Ma-on has been used for four tropical cyclones in the Western Pacific Ocean. This name was provided by Hong Kong and is the name of a peak in New Territories.
- Typhoon Ma-on (2004) (T0422, 26W, Rolly) – a Category 5 typhoon that made landfall on Japan's Izu Peninsula as a category 3, killing 6 people.
- Typhoon Ma-on (2011) (T1106, 08W, Ineng) – struck Shikoku in Japan before recurving to the open sea.
- Tropical Storm Ma-on (2016) (T1624, 27W) – stayed at sea through its duration.
- Severe Tropical Storm Ma-on (2022) (T2209, 10W, Florita) – affected northern Philippines, South China and northern Vietnam.
After the 2022 storm, the name Ma-on was announced to be retired and will no longer be used.[1] In 2024, the name was replaced by Tsing-ma, which refers to the Tsing Ma Bridge in Hong Kong that connects to the main airport.[2]
