Malamir (Bulgarian: Маламир) was the ruler of Bulgaria 831–836.Malamir was a son of Omurtag and a grandson of Krum. His name may be of Slavic origin and is claimed to be the first Bulgar khan to possess a Slavic name; however another theory is that it was an Iranian name as there is an Iranian city named Malamir. This has led to the speculation that his mother was a Slav which cannot be proven.
