Malaysia is a country largely surrounded by large bodies of water, most notably by the Strait of Malacca and the South China Sea, that have been used extensively for maritime transport as early as the 15th century. Numerous lighthouses were erected during present-day Malaysia's rule by the Portuguese Empire, the Dutch Empire and the British Empire (which oversaw the greatest number of new lighthouses built), and, later, the government of Malaysia, to provide navigation in and out of ports or through dangerous seas. Many of these lighthouses are situated on small islands and headlands.

The following lists lighthouses situated within the borders of Malaysia.

Sabah, a Malaysian state on the island of Borneo, faces the South China Sea to the northwest, and the Sulu Sea to the northeast. The lighthouses are primarily used to navigate ships into smaller harbours such as Labuan and Tawau.

Sarawak, another Malaysian state situated on the island of Borneo, operates lighthouses facing the South China Sea, which are all situated on headlands.
