Malå (, ) is a locality and the seat of Malå Municipality in Västerbotten County, province of Lapland, Sweden with 2,050 inhabitants in 2010.
== History == The Swedish name Malå comes from the Sami Máláge. The origin is unclear, but the word might derive from "málle," which means blood or sap. A later interpretation is that Máláge refers back to the Swedish name, which was associated with the river (Måll-ån in 1553). It has been assumed that the river's name comes from the Swedish dialect word "mal," meaning 'sand, gravel, or small stones.
