Malaysians in the United Kingdom are British citizens of Malaysian descent or Malaysian citizens residing in the United Kingdom. The Malaysian British community bears a similar trend to the British Chinese and Singaporean British communities in terms of population spread and culture. The Malaysian community in the UK is one of the west's largest, this is mainly due to the influence of the British Empire on Malaysia.

In December 2008 it was reported that over 30,000 Malaysians who entered the UK temporarily have overstayed their visas.
