The Malta Kiosk (Turkish: Malta Köşkü), also known as the Malta Pavilion,^[1] is a historic imperial Ottoman residence located within the garden of the Yıldız Palace in Istanbul, Turkey. The two-storey pavilion was commissioned by Sultan Abdülaziz (reigned 1861–1876) as a hunting lodge,^[2] designed^[3] by the architect Sarkis Balyan^[2] in the neo-baroque style and completed in 1870.

The pavilion, perched atop a steep hill, is one of the two lodges of its art within the Yıldız Park, the other one being the Çadır Pavilion (Turkish: Çadır Köşkü). It is located at the north side of the wall separating Yıldız Palace. There are also two watching and resting pavilions in the grove being the rear garden of Çırağan Palace from the Abdül Aziz I period.

The origin of the name comes from the extensive use of limestone from Malta, which is the prominent material used.^[1]
