Melaka Maju Jaya (Jawi: pronounced [məlaka madʒu dʒaja]); "Malacca, Onwards Come!") is the official anthem of the Malaysia state of Malacca.^[1] It was introduced and played for the first time on 31 August 1974 in conjunction with the state level independence day at that time.

The music was composed by Saiful Bahri, who also wrote the lyrics to the Selangor state anthem, Duli Yang Maha Mulia and Alias Arshad of the Royal Malaysian Police, while the lyrics were composed by a committee led by state secretary Datuk Haji Abu Mansor bin Haji Hassan.^[2]^[3] On 16 August 1994, the Malacca state government approved the modifications of the lyrics and tempo of the state anthem at its Executive council meeting to be played on 31 August that year.^[4]
