Malay-le-Grand (French pronunciation: [malɛ lə ɡʁɑ̃]) is a commune in the Yonne department in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in north-central France.

[3] In 1003, the village is designated under the name Masliacus Major ("greater Malay").

In 1187, the name of Mâlay-le-Grand became Malaium Vice-comitis (Mâlay-le-Vicomte) until the French Revolution.

It was only then that Mâlay-le-Vicomte became Mâlay-le-Grand again and the neighbouring village of Mâlay-le-Roi also became Malay-le-Petit.
