Panga Cliff (Estonian: Panga pank) (also Mustjala cliff) is a coastal cliff located on the northern shore of Saaremaa, at the end of the Kuressaare - Võhma road, close to Panga village. It is the highest of the Saaremaa and Muhu cliffs, reaching a height of 20 meters (66 ft). The entire cliff is approximately 2.5 km long.

Panga cliff consists of at least three terraces. Besides the main cliff, there is a smaller cliff located further inland, as well as an underwater cliff with height about 10–12 meters (33–39 ft) jutting a few hundred meters into the sea.
