Malegno (Malégn in local camunian dialect) is an Italian comune in Val Camonica, province of Brescia, in Lombardy. Malegno lies on the right bank of the river Oglio, and is crossed by the river Lanico.
Traces of ancient human activities are represented by two statues-stele, founded in the "Bagnolo" area, west of Malegno.
In 1758 the waters of Lanico flooded the area.
By decree of 1928 the town of Malegno was united with that of Cividate Camuno, forming a single commune until 1947.
The scütüm are, in Camunian dialect, nicknames, sometimes personal, elsewhere showing the characteristic features of a community. The one which characterize the people of Malegno is Crape de Legn, Malignù, Getù.
