The Indonesia–Malaysia football rivalry is a sports rivalry primarily between the men's national association football teams of the two countries. It is one of Asia's best known football rivalries. The heated political conflict between the two countries in the 1960s transmitted disease to the football field. The infamous "Ganyang Malaysia!" chant put forward by Indonesia's "Father of the Nation" and first president Sukarno in a 1963 political speech in Jakarta is considered an encouragement for the Indonesian team before matches against Malaysia. Matches involving the two countries, whether in Jakarta or Kuala Lumpur, are always crowded with spectators. When the match takes place, there are often controversial incidents, like when two fans died in a stampede during the 2011 Southeast Asian Games final between the under-23 teams of Indonesia and Malaysia in Jakarta.

The two teams most recently met in the 2026 FIFA ASEAN Cup, with the match ended 0–0.
