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

The one-way road, one of the busiest in the city centre, runs along some of George Town's major landmarks, including Komtar and 1st Avenue Mall.

Magazine Road was named after a gunpowder depot that once existed at the site where Gama Departmental Store now stands.

[3] Magazine Road was laid out in the late 19th century as part of the Seven Streets Precinct, a residential area inhabited by ethnic Chinese.

Up until the late 20th century, the Seven Streets Precinct, including Magazine Road, was rife with crime and triad activities, and generally shunned by the Peranakans.
