{{Short description|Entry for Malaysia in ISO 3166-2}}
'''ISO 3166-2:MY''' is the entry for [[Malaysia]] in [[ISO 3166-2]], part of the [[ISO 3166]] [[standardization|standard]] published by the [[International Organization for Standardization]] (ISO), which defines [[code]]s for the names of the principal [[country subdivision|subdivision]]s (e.g., [[province]]s or [[state (administrative division)|state]]s) of all [[country|countries]] coded in [[ISO 3166-1]].

Currently for Malaysia, ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for [[states and federal territories of Malaysia|three federal territories and 13 states]].

Each code consists of two parts, separated by a hyphen. The first part is {{mono|MY}}, the [[ISO 3166-1 alpha-2]] code of Malaysia. The second part is two digits:

* 01–13: states
* 14–16: federal territories

==Current codes==
Subdivision names are listed as in the ISO 3166-2 standard published by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO 3166/MA).
