Malmberget ("The Ore Mountain", Finnish and Meänkieli: Malmivaara) is a locality and mining town situated in Gällivare Municipality, Norrbotten County, Sweden.

Iron ore mining started in 1741 at Illuvaara mountain, later known as Gällivare Malmberg and eventually just Malmberget.

In Malmberget there was plentiful employment, but no dwellings - a striking resemblance to the conditions during some of the gold rushes in North America.

In the centre of Malmberget, the deep mine has reached daylight and created a large hole called Kaptensgropen ("The Captain's Pit").

The moving of several large residential houses owned by the mining company, as well as private villas, has been a major issue locally for the past few years.
