Macalister Road is a major thoroughfare in the city of George Town within the Malaysian state of Penang.

[1] Originally a dirt track, the eastern section of Macalister Road has become urbanised as part of the city centre.

[3] Tall Angsana trees were planted along the westernmost section of Macalister Road by Charles Curtis, who was the curator of the Penang Botanic Gardens in the late 19th century.

This maternity hospital was in operation until 1955; the building now houses a branch of the Penang State Museum and Art Gallery.
