Ang '''Kapuluang Malay''' ([[Wikang Indones|Indones]]/[[Wikang Malasyo|Malasyo]]: {{lang|ms|Kepulauan Melayu}}) ay ang [[kapuluan]] sa gitna ng [[Indotsina]] at [[Australya (kontinente)|Australia]]. Naitawag din itong "[[Nusantara]]", "[[Silangang Kaindiyahan]]", at iba pang mga pangalan sa paglipas ng panahon. Nakuha ang pangalan mula sa lahing Malay, isang konsepto mula sa Europa noong ika-19 na siglo, at kalaunan batay sa saklaw ng mga [[Mga wikang Austronesyo|wikang Austronesyo]].<ref name="Wallace">{{Cite book|last=Wallace|first=Alfred Russel|author-link=Alfred Russel Wallace|title=The Malay Archipelago|url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.55221|publisher=Macmillan and Co|year=1869|location=London|page=[https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.55221/page/n73 1]|language=en|trans-title=Ang Kapuluang Malay}}</ref>
