Malichus I or Malchos I (Nabataean Aramaic: 𐢓𐢑𐢏𐢈‎, romanized: Malīḵū or 𐢓𐢑𐢏𐢀‎, Malīḵūʾ) was a king of Nabataea who reigned from c. 59/58 to 30 BC. He ruled for nearly three decades, during a time of great turmoil within the Roman empire which was extending its influence over the region. There are few written records regarding his early rule, and most of what is known of his later rule come from descriptions by Roman historians. His portrait, some information about Nabataean culture and the years of his rule are well known, dated and attested, due to Nabataean inscriptions and coins he minted during his last three years in power.
