Malaysians in the United Kingdom are British citizens who have full or partial Malaysian origin or descent and Malaysian citizens residing in the United Kingdom. The 2001 UK Census recorded 49,886 Malaysian-born people.[5] The 2011 census recorded 62,396 people born in Malaysia living in England, 2,117 in Wales,[6] 4,721 in Scotland[7] and 705 in Northern Ireland.[8] The largest concentrations of Malaysian-born residents were recorded in Greater London (21,209 people) and South East England (11,331).[6] The Office for National Statistics estimates that 75,000 Malaysian-born expatriates were residents in the UK in 2017.[9]

In December 2008, it was reported that over 30,000 Malaysians who entered the UK temporarily had overstayed their visas.[10] In 2013, there were 14,500 Malaysians studying at tertiary level in the United Kingdom, making Malaysians one of the largest overseas student groups in the United Kingdom and making the United Kingdom the country with the 2nd most Malaysian students.[11]
