Yangon General Hospital (Template:Lang-my) is a major hospital, located in Yangon, Myanmar. The hospital is known for its Victorian-style (albeit dilapidated) architecture, with red brick and yellow-painted trimmings. A new Emergency Ward has been constructed on the western part of the compound. The University of Medicine-1 is also attached to the hospital compound.
The building was a major massacre site during the 8888 Uprising, in which injured patients, assumed to have taken part in the anti-government protests, were killed by the Tatmadaw. The hospital is closed to tourists. The hospital was also the site of Aung San Suu Kyi's first public speech, on 24 August 1988.
