Melaka Tengah District (translated as Central Malacca District), formerly known as Central District, is one of the three administrative districts in Malacca, Malaysia. It borders Alor Gajah District to the north and Jasin District to the east. The capital of the state, Malacca City, is located in this district. This district is the major destination of tourists in Malacca as most historical spots are situated within it.[4]
Melaka Tengah is administered by two local authorities, mostly Malacca City Council (Malay: Majlis Bandaraya Melaka Bersejarah, MBMB) and a small portion in the north by Hang Tuah Jaya Municipal Council (Malay: Majlis Perbandaran Hang Tuah Jaya, MPHTJ).
