海南仲裁委员会（海仲）由海南省人民政府依法于1996年5月21日组建，是海南省内唯一民商事仲裁机构，会址设在海口市。2011年10月21日，经海南省人民政府批准，由海口仲裁委员会更名为海南仲裁委员会。2018年7月，经海南省人民政府批准更名为海南国际仲裁院（海南仲裁委员会）。鉴于海南省直管市县的行政体制和海南经济大特区、国际旅游岛等独有特色，国务院在审批仲裁机构设置时将海仲定为除直辖市外唯一的省级区域仲裁机构。

Hainan arbitration commission (haizhong) was established by the people's government of hainan province on May 21, 1996. Approved by hainan provincial people's government, haikou arbitration commission was renamed as hainan arbitration commission on October 21, 2011. In July 2018, it was renamed as hainan international arbitration academy (hainan arbitration commission) with the approval of hainan provincial people's government. In view of the administrative system of hainan province directly in charge of cities and counties and the unique characteristics of hainan special economic zone and international tourism island, the state council has designated haizhong as the only provincial regional arbitration institution except for the municipality directly under the central government when examining and approving the establishment of arbitration institutions.
