The Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort is a resort hotel on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, Hawaii. The resort first opened in 1955, and has since grown to become the largest vacation resort in Hawaii. Today (2010), it features five fun swimming pools on the grounds. It is now one of the biggest hotels in the Hilton chain, and one of largest hotels in the entire world.

The Hawaiian Village Hotel was conceived, constructed, and first administered by Henry J. Kaiser, the industrialist who built the Hoover Dam and Grand Coulee Dam. He also founded the Kaiser Permanente health system. In 1954, Kaiser and developer Fritz B. Burns bought the 16 acres Kalia estate of John Ena and combined it with the Niumalu Hotel to construct the Hawaiian Village.

Currently, the Hilton Hawaiian Village sits on over 22 acres of beachfront property, near the Ala Moana Center. It features the largest swimming pool in Waikiki, over twenty-two restaurants, exotic wildlife and botanical gardens, Duke's Lagoon, and some very important historical exhibits on loan from the Bishop Museum.
