St. Michael's Church, Penampang, Roman Catholic church in Donggongon, Penampang District, Malaysia.

The church structure features a central nave with two aisles and multiple arched windows that illuminate the interior wooden bench seating arrangement.

Mill Hill Missionaries established the church foundation in 1936, but construction was delayed by World War II and completed in 1947.

The church cemetery incorporates traditional Kadazan-Dusun burial practices, including a section dedicated to clay jar interments alongside conventional graves.

St Michael's Church holds regular Sunday masses and maintains an administration office that manages baptisms, marriages, and community programs.

The post-war bell tower contains three manually operated bells supported by a concrete tripod structure built in memory of Father Wachter.
