We present the first experimental evidence for the multifractality of a transport property at a topological phase transition. In particular, we show that conductance fluctuations display multifractality at the integer quantum Hall plateau-to-plateau transitions in high-mobility mesoscopic graphene devices. The multifractality gets rapidly suppressed as the chemical potential moves away from these critical points. Our combination of experimental study and multifractal analysis provides a novel method for probing the criticality of wave functions at phase transitions in mesoscopic systems, and quantum criticality in several condensed-matter systems.
