The high commissioner of New Zealand to Malaysia is the head of New Zealand's diplomatic mission to Malaysia. The position has the rank and status of an ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary and is based in the High Commission of New Zealand, Kuala Lumpur.
New Zealand has maintained a resident high commissioner in Malaysia since the country's formation in 1963. The high commissioner to Malaysia is concurrently accredited to Brunei Darussalam.
As fellow members of the Commonwealth of Nations, diplomatic relations between New Zealand and Malaysia are at governmental level, rather than between heads of state. Thus, the countries exchange high commissioners, rather than ambassadors.
