The National Institute of Public Administration (Malay: Institut Tadbiran Awam Negara) or popularly known as INTAN is a Malaysian government agency responsible for the training of civil servants in management and administration.

The prime objective of the centre was to train civil servants with the necessary knowledge and expertise to face the development challenges of the nation, especially after Independence.

In 1963, the Training Centre was relocated to Jalan Ilmu, Petaling Jaya, close to the University of Malaya.
