Malem Hodar is a town and urban commune in Senegal. It is the principal municipality and administrative centre of the Malem Hodar Department of the Kaffrine Region.

A decree of 1972 led to the creation of rural communities (communautés rurales) in 1976, since when Malem Hodar was elevated in 2008 to an urban commune.
