Penang High Court, Courthouse in George Town, Malaysia.

The Penang High Court is a Palladian-style courthouse on Light Street in George Town, designed by John Henry McCallum, Surveyor-General of the Straits Settlements, and inaugurated in 1903 at a cost of $206,678 Straits dollars. Its domed chamber and columns are visible from the street; original statues and emblems have been removed. A three-storey wing was added to the east during a 2005 renovation.

The original court was established in 1808 through a royal charter from King George III of Great Britain and was initially housed in Fort Cornwallis. It later relocated to the current building on Light Street.

The court's name changed from Supreme Court to High Court as Malaya's judiciary evolved. In 1926 Mrs. B. H. Oon became the first female Asian lawyer admitted to the English Bar, and the following year the first woman admitted to the Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States Bars, practising here. In 1974 former prime minister Tunku Abdul Rahman was called to the Bar in the courthouse compound.

The court complex faces Light Street, with the 1903 main hall on one side and the Magistrates and Sessions Courts across the road; the 2005 renovation added a three-storey wing to the east. It is a working court, so courtrooms and offices are not open for sightseeing. The domed chamber and columns of the facade are best seen from the street.

The courthouse cost $206,678 in Straits dollars when inaugurated in 1903. Its design is credited to John Henry McCallum, Surveyor-General of the Straits Settlements. Statues and emblems once adorned the building but have since been removed, leaving the domed chamber and columns as the visible Palladian elements.
