Baba Chuah George Town Caricature Sculptures is a set of steel-rod sculptures placed at strategic locations in George Town. They are the work of local cartoonist Baba Chuah. Chuah made his debut in the cartoon scene when he was published in Falsafah Batu Api in 1991. This led to the use of his work by Creative Enterprise for their "Fantasi" anthology series.

In 2000, Baba Chuah entered the international scene when his work, Midsummer Night's Hunt, was published by the US publisher, Dark Horse, in Issue No. 156. Today Chuah continues to be heavily involved in the comics scene. So far, three of his caricatures have been selected for the street art commission by the Penang Island Municipal Council (MPPP) though the design company, Sculpture at Work.

The following are some of Baba Chuah's caricature sculptures in George Town.
