List of cities in Malaysia

This is a list of cities in Malaysia .

The largest agglomeration in Malaysia is Kuala Lumpur with a population of 6,527,057 (as of January 1, 2006). A quarter of the country's population is thus concentrated in the capital region.

The following table shows the cities with a population of more than 100,000, the results of the census of August 14, 1991 and July 5, 2000, a calculation for January 1, 2006, and the higher-level administrative unit ( states and federal territories ) to which the City belongs, listed. The capital Kuala Lumpur, the seat of government Putrajaya with 41,070 inhabitants and Labuan with 73,664 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2005) each form their own federal territory and do not belong to any state. The population figures refer to the actual city without the suburbs.

The last official census took place in 2010.
