The Malay Game is a breed of game chicken. It is among the tallest breeds of chicken, and may stand over 90 cm (36 inches) high.

The Malay is bred principally in Europe, in Australia and in the United States. It was derived, partly in Devon and Cornwall in south-west England, from birds imported from the Indian subcontinent or from South-east Asia in the first decades of the nineteenth century, when large birds of this type were widespread in northern India, in Indonesia and in the Malay Peninsula.
