Huie Kin ( Chinese: 許芹; pinyin: Xǔ Qín; August 8, 1854 – January 22, 1934) was a Chinese-American Presbyterian pastor. [1]

He was born in Sunning (now Taishan) in southern Guangdong, China. He sailed to San Francisco in 1868 where he was houseboy; his later employer, Mrs. James Gardiner, later helped him in his education. He attended Geneva College in Geneva, Pennsylvania, and Lane Theological Seminary in Cincinnati. [1] He became a missionary to the Chinese in New York City, [1] and according to his obituary he founded the First Presbyterian Church for the New York Chinese, [1] though a more recent book describes him instead as the "primary Chinese missionary at the Chinese Sunday School" at the Presbyterian Church on University Place. [2] He published Reminiscences, a memoir, in 1932. [1] [2]

He married Louise M. van Arnam; the couple met in 1886 and were married in April 1889. [3]

He returned to China shortly before his death, and died in Beijing. He was survived by his wife and nine of their ten children. [1]
