Macau Peninsula (澳門半島 Pinyin: Aomen Bandao; Portuguese: Península de Macau) is the oldest and most populous part of Macau in the People's Republic of China.
It is connected to Zhuhai, Mainland China at the northeast, through an isthmus 200-metre wide. The Border Gate (關閘; Portas do Cerco ) was built on the northern isthmus. At the south, the peninsula is connected to Taipa Island by three bridges. The longest axis (4-kilometre) extends from the Border Gate to the southwestern edge, Barra (媽閣嘴).

Many marginal places are reclaimed from sea.
The peninsula is divided into five regions, nominally parishes, but have no authority:
