Malung is the capital of the municipality of Malung-Sälen in the Swedish province of Dalarnas län and the historic province of Dalarna . Malung had 4927 inhabitants in 2015.

The name Malung is the first time in 1200 in the Sverris saga in the West Nordic form Molungr needed. It is derived from the dialect word times for sand and gravel, which are abundant on the banks of the Västerdalälven river that flows through the village. To the southwest of the village lies the Tiomilaskogen , a wooded natural landscape.

Malung is the center of the Swedish leather industry. In autumn 2006, the first ice hockey high school for girls in Sweden opened here.
