The spouse of the prime minister of Malaysia (Malay: pasangan perdana menteri Malaysia) refers to the spouse of the head of government of Malaysia, the prime minister. Since independence in 1957, the title has been held by women, therefore the spouse is also known as the prime minister's wife. Some commentators have tried to style prime ministers' wives as "First Lady of Malaysia", similar to the style of First Lady used in republics, but this is not a recognised title.[1][2] To date, ten women have held the title of the spouse of the prime minister of Malaysia.
