Burning Paradise (Foh Siu Hung Lin Ji 火燒紅蓮寺 (lit. 'The Burning of the Red Lotus Temple') is a 1994 Hong Kong wuxia film directed by Ringo Lam. The film is set in the Qing dynasty and stars Willie Chi Tian-sheng as Fong Sai Yuk and Yang Sheng as Hung Hei-kwun.

Burning Paradise was made during a period where there was new wave of popularity of sword-play themed martial arts films after the popularity of Tsui Hark's Once Upon a Time in China films in the early 1990s. The film was initially offered to Tsui Hark, who suggested it to the director Ringo Lam. It was Lam's only film in the style and was shot in Shanghai. The film performed poorly in the Hong Kong box office, earning just under two-million Hong Kong dollars against a 23 million dollar budget.
