Ioannes Malalas
John Malalas atau Ioannes Malalas (atau Malelas) (Yunani: Ἰωάννης Μαλάλας) (c. 491 – 578) adalah seorang penulis kronik Bizantium yang berasal dari Antiokhia.
Malalas memperoleh pendidikan di Antiokhia dan pindah ke Konstantinopel pada masa kekuasaan Kaisar Yustinianus I. (kemungkinan setelah bangsa Persia menjarah Antiokhia tahun 540[1]). Ia menulis Chronographia (Χρονογραφία) dalam 18 buku (yang kini sebagian telah hilang).
