List of rivers of Malaysia

This is an incomplete list of rivers that flow at least partially in Malaysia. The rivers are grouped by strait or sea. The rivers flowing into the sea are sorted along the coast. Rivers flowing into other rivers are listed by the rivers they flow into. The rivers that have their mouths in Malaysia are given in italics. The same river may be found in more than one state as many rivers cross state borders.

The Gombak River (left) merges with the Klang River (right) in Kuala Lumpur.
