The Penang Floating Mosque or Masjid Terapung Pulau Pinang or also known as Tanjung Bungah Floating Mosque or Masjid Terapung Tanjung Bungah is a floating mosque located in Tanjung Bungah near George town, Penang, Malysia. Despite its name, the mosque is not actually floating, but rather standing on pilings and stilts. Nevertheless it is the first mosque to be built in the sea in Malaysia (other floating mosques in Malaysia have so far been built in lakes). It was built to replace the old Tanjung Bungah Mosque.
