Malchow (German pronunciation: [ˈmalço]) is a municipality in the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte district, in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany.

A munitions factory of the Alfred Nobel Co. was established in Malchow in 1938, during the Nazi period, and during World War II hundreds of prisoners of war and also women and children were used as forced labor there.

In 1943, the Ravensbrück concentration camp extended to Malchow, and during the next two years many inmates, including numerous Hungarian Jewish women, lost their lives there under appalling conditions.

After the reunification of Germany in 1990, the historic town center of Malchow was extensively restored.

The town is surrounded by the lakes of the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte and the woods of the Müritz National Park.
