Malamaddi^[1] is a residential area in the city of Dharwad, in the Indian state of Karnataka. It is located near the Dharwad city railway station. The area is mainly middle-class. It was developed for independent houses (bungalows) with a courtyard and kitchen garden. This type of layout led to friendship among dwellers and harmony, where people used to know not only neighbours, but the entire locality.

MaLa in Kannada means "place above normal level" and maddi in Kannada means "a hillock", a small hill. The two words together refer to the location of Malamaddi on a small hill above the normal elevations in Dharwad. Religious institutions such as Rayara Mutt and Uttaradi Mutt are located there.

Malmaddi is home to K.E. Board Primary and High School,^[2] as well as two hospitals: Chirayu Multi-Specialty Hospital^[3] and Prashanth Hospital^[4] and one Homeopathy Clinic: Asian Homeocare.
