Malir Town (Urdu: ملير ٹاؤن) is the Constituent Town of Karachi Malir District and lies in the northern part of the city that was named after the Malir River.

The federal government introduced local government reforms in the year 2000, which eliminated the previous "third tier of government" (administrative divisions) and replaced it with the fourth tier (districts). The effect in Karachi was the dissolution of the former Karachi Division, and the merging of its five districts to form a new Karachi City-District with eighteen autonomous constituent towns including Malir Town.

Malir District was abolished as part of The Local Government Ordinance 2001 and divided into three towns namely:

Malir Town was formed and was subdivided into 8 union councils.

In 2011, the system was disbanded but remained in place for bureaucratic administration until 2015, when the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation system was reintroduced.

On 11 July 2011, Sindh Government restored Malir District again.

The town system was disbanded in 2011.

In 2015, Malir Town was re-organized as part of Karachi Malir District.
