Malta–Russia relations refers to bilateral foreign relations between Malta and Russia. Malta has an embassy in Moscow and an honorary consulate in Saint Petersburg. Russia has an embassy in San Ġwann and cultural centre in Valletta.
Relations between the two countries were established in 1698 by Ramon Perellos y Roccaful, the Grand Master of the Order of St. John, exactly a century before the Order's expulsion from Malta.
From 1799 to 1800, the Russian Empire supported Maltese rebels against the French occupation of Malta.
