Heah Mansion (GPS: 5.27368, 100.4487), also called Heah Swee Lee Mansion, is a historic Chinese-style mansion in Bukit Tambun, Seberang Perai. Located along Jalan Bukit Tambun, it was built over a hundred years ago by prominent Teochew planter Heah Jin Wooi, who was prominent member of the Penang Teochew Association, and one of the pioneers of the sugar cane industry in Kuala Kurau. His son Heah Swee Lee, was born in 1875. He inherited Jin Wooi's 2,000-acre estate, and made a name for himself. The mansion, though built by Heah Jin Wooi, was eventually named after Heah Swee Lee, who also had the road, Gerbang Heah Swee Lee, named after him.
