Gurney Plaza, touted as Penang's premier lifestyle mall, is a shopping mall located at the famed Gurney Drive promenade in George Town, Penang, Malaysia. It is the second largest shopping mall in Penang after Queensbay Mall and by far the most classy. It was completed in 2001 by one of Southeast Asia's largest property company, CapitaLand. Gurney Plaza houses the biggest cineplex in Malaysia's northern region, the 12-screen Golden Screen Cinemas equipped with THX-certified auditoriums, and second only to Malaysia's biggest cineplex at Mid Valley Megamall in Kuala Lumpur.

Plans are currently underway to add a seven-storey new wing facing Kelawei Road, which is target to complete by end 2008. The extension will add convert|150000|sqft|m2|abbr=on of retail space to accommodate a new department store and 83 shoplots, plus 800 new parking bays. This will cause Gurney Plaza to be the 1 Utama of Penang.
