Magazine Gap Road (Chinese: 馬己仙峽道) is a winding road on the affluent and ultra-expensive Mid-Levels and the Peak on the Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong. It is one of the main access leading to the Peak area.
It starts low from Robinson Road and Garden Road. It runs east and uphill and meets Bowen Road and May Road. It continues and meets the junction with Coombe Road and Peak Road at Magazine Gap. It ends in a peak nearby, where a Chureido Pagoda, a Japanese war shrine, was built during Japanese occupation of the territory between 1941 and 1945. It was destroyed in 1947, shortly after the Liberation of Hong Kong.
With road connections nearby, vehicles can reach either north or south of the island through roads in Wan Chai Gap and Wong Nai Chung Gap.
