Naning is a cultural and customary region in northern Malacca, Malaysia, bordering Negeri Sembilan. It covers the constituencies of Masjid Tanah and Alor Gajah, and also includes Pulau Sebang.

Naning had historically been part of Negeri Sembilan but it was annexed by the British into Malacca in 1832 after the Naning War. Malacca was a part of the Straits Settlements at the time.

Naning was founded in 1641 by a prince of Pagaruyung, Sutan Jatang Balun, also known as Datuk Parpatih Nan Sebatang.

In 1643, Naning entered into an agreement with Dutch Malacca which made Naning tributary to the Dutch but still maintained a degree of independence and sovereignty.

The Naning War started in 1831 and lasted for a year. The penghulu, the chief or lord of Naning at the time, Dol Said, resisted the British claim over Naning as part of Malacca. Britain demanded that Naning pay 10% of its revenue as a tribute to Malacca. Dol Said refused, leading to a British expedition in 1831.

Initially, Dol Said managed to hold out with assistance from nearby chiefdoms. However, in another offensive the following year, the British attacked Naning again with a larger force. Dol Said, abandoned by his allies this time, was defeated and he surrendered. He was offered a pension and a house in Malacca.

Today, Naning, integrated into Malacca, is no longer a distinct political entity. However, it remained as a cultural and customary region (luak) governed by the adat perpatih custom, recognised under the state constitution of Malacca.

Naning domain covers 22 mukims of Alor Gajah District, as well as three mukims in neighbouring Jasin District.
