Malexander (Mishalanese: Maleksandr; Elw: enu Maleqzanrion or Maleqzandyr) is an Elwynnese city and bailiwick in the Amokolian circuit of Vattnaland. Historically, Malexander was seen as the cultural capital of Amokolia, and remains to this day the centre of Amokolian literature and art. The Amokolian poet Daniel Malexander grew up in Malexander, and adopted his nome-de-plume after his beloved home. Bailiwick population is a little over 3 million.

Malexander was incorporated in 1532. The name derives from the old Amokolian Malakisanderstadt (the town by Malachi's shore), and refers to the now-reclaimed lake Malachi, located in what is now the centre of the city.

Outside of the arts, Malexander is home to Amokolia's largest football stadium that is colloquially named Poets' Pit. It has a seating capacity of little over 45,000.
