Malaca o Melaka es un estado de Malasia situada en la zona meridional de la península de Malaca, bañado por el estrecho de Malaca en su zona oriental. Fue fundado en 1401 y conquistado por Afonso de Albuquerque (24 de agosto de 1511). Llegó a ser uno de los enclaves comerciales más importantes junto con Goa (India) y Ceilán (Sri Lanka), por su posición geográfica. Conocido en la época como emporio, concentraba el tráfico de mercancías entre Cantón, Japón, la India, y las islas Molucas. La capital del estado es la ciudad de Malaca. Dentro de las localidades del estado se encuentran Alor Gajah, Ayer Keroh, Batu Berendam, Benbam, Bukit Baru, Bukit Rambai, Klebang, Kuala Sungai Baru, Pulau Sebang y Sungai Udang.
