Malaca (em malaio, Melaka) é o terceiro menor estado da Malásia. Embora Malaca já tenha sido um dos mais antigos sultanatos malaios, o estado atualmente não é governado por um sultão e sim por um governador (Yang di-Pertua Negeri). Em 2008 foi declarada Património Mundial pela UNESCO. Da presença portuguesa na cidade sobrevivem a Igreja de São Paulo e a Porta de Santiago da Fortaleza de Malaca, conhecida como "A Famosa".
