List of High Commissioners of New Zealand to Malaya
The Ambassador from New Zealand to Malaya was New Zealand's foremost diplomatic representative in the Federation of Malaya, and in charge of New Zealand's diplomatic mission in Malaya.
The embassy was located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaya's capital city. New Zealand first posted a resident High Commissioner to Malaya in 1959.
As fellow members of the Commonwealth of Nations, diplomatic relations between New Zealand and Canada were at governmental level, rather than between Heads of State. Thus, the countries exchanged High Commissioners, rather than ambassadors.
