Penang Hill Multi-Storey Car Park (GPS: 5.4077, 100.27753) is a car park near the Penang Hill Lower Station, on Hill Railway Road, Penang. It is the main car park for visitors to Penang Hill. The car park complements the existing open-air Car Park A and Car Park B.

The Penang Hill Multi-Storey Car Park replaces the ill-fated "Kancil Car Park", another brand-new car park that had to be demolished as it was deemed to be not suitable for all but the smallest vehicles.

The Penang Hill Multi-Storey Car Park is an 8-storey structure. It was built for Perbadanan Setiausaha Kerajaan Pulau Pinang (SSI). The developer is Penang Development Corporation (PDC) while the main contractor is Yuan Seng Building Trading Sdn Bhd. The building plan was approved on 26 November, 2012. The car park was officially opened by the Rt Hon Lim Guan Eng, Chief Minister of Penang, on 19 January, 2015.

On the ground floor is a cafeteria, toilet, surau and parking for motorcycles. Car parking bays occupy levels 1 to 7. The bus stop is right in front of the car park. Rapid Penang bus 204 stops there.
