The KTM ETS, commercially known as ETS (Electric Train Service), is an inter-city higher-speed rail service in Malaysia. It is operated by Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM). ETS followed KTM Komuter to be the second electric train service to be operated by KTM. ETS is Malaysia's second inter-city rail service after KTM Intercity.

Launched in 2010, the ETS is Malaysia's fastest metre-gauge train service. It operates on the historical KTM West Coast Line in western Peninsular Malaysia. The line has since been mostly electrified and double-tracked. Its maximum speed of 140 km/h (87 mph) is among the world's fastest metre-gauge train services.

The service runs between both ends of the West Coast line, between Padang Besar, near the border with Thailand, to JB Sentral, near the border with Singapore.
