The Komtar station is a future elevated light rail transit station on the Mutiara line in George Town, Penang. It will be situated at the intersection of Magazine Road, Carnavon and Tek Soon streets, adjacent to the Sia Boey Park.

The station is projected to become a major terminal and interchange station of the Mutiara, Tanjong Tokong and the Ayer Itam lines. It has connections towards the terminal of a proposed tram system in George Town, and the Komtar bus terminal, which serves as the primary public bus terminal serving the city.

The station complex is also planned as part of the fifth phase of development at Komtar. Once completed, it is expected to become the main rail station in George Town.[1] Besides this, the station is part of the western end of an elevated link across the Penang Strait towards the Penang Sentral station in Seberang Perai.[2] Construction is expected to be completed by 2031, in line with the completion of the Mutiara line.[3]
