The Malaysian Matriculation Programme (Malay: Program Matrikulasi Malaysia) is a one year pre-university preparatory programme^{[1][failed verification]} offered by the Ministry of Education, Malaysia.

Starting 2005, the selection process for the programme is done through a race-based quota system, where 90% of the places are reserved for bumiputeras students while the remaining 10% are open for non-bumiputeras.^[2] This has sparked multiple controversies and backlashes that upsets the non-Bumiputera community such as not being privileged to continue studying in the programme despite having excellent results.

Every leavers from the matriculation programme will receive a certificate which is "Sijil Matrikulasi KPM" which is certified and recognised by every public universities in Malaysia and overseas such as United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand unlike, the STPM or the Malaysian Higher School Certificate which it is globally-recognised.
