Maļinova (historically and locally[1] known as Maļinovka) is a medium size village in Maļinova parish, Daugavpils municipality, Latvia and a parish centre. It is located 19 km northeast of Daugavpils at the A13 national road/European route E262.

The inhabited locality grew up out of the former Malinovka village after World War II as a centre of a selsovet and the Znamya Oktyabrya kolkhoz.[2]

Today Maļinova is a home of the parish administration, a house of culture, library, feldsher station and the Elijah the Prophet Orthodox church.
