Malbazar (Bengali: মালবাজার) is a sub-divisional town in Jalpaiguri district, located in North Bengal, India. It lies about 65km from Jalpaiguri and 40km from Siliguri.

Malbazar is strategically located in the eastern part of the Dooars region, and is thus close to many places of tourist interest like the Gorumara National Park and Chapramari Wildlife Reserve. One noteworthy place in Malbazar is the Mal Park where an annual flower show is held, visited by people from places far and near.
