The Penang State Legislative Assembly is the legislature of the Malaysian state of Penang. It is a unicameral institution, consisting of a total of 40 elected lawmakers representing single-member constituencies throughout Penang. The state legislature, whose members are called State Assemblymen, convenes at the Penang State Assembly Building in Penang's capital city of George Town. The Penang State Executive Council, the executive branch of the Penang state government, is drawn from among the State Assemblymen.

After the 2023 Penang state election and out of the 40 seats, 29 are held by the Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) ruling coalitions. Within the PH coalition, the Democratic Action Party (DAP) retains its 19 seats since 2008, the People's Justice Party (PKR) holds 7 seats and the National Trust Party (Amanah) retain just a single seat, while the BN coalition holds 2 seats. The PH and BN coalitions thus command a supermajority in the legislature. Meanwhile, 11 seats are held by the Perikatan Nasional (PN) opposition coalition.
