'''Malin''' is a city in [[Klamath County, Oregon|Klamath County]], [[Oregon]], United States. The population was 805 at the [[2010 United States Census|2010 census]].

According to [[Lewis A.

The settlers had found a large horseradish, and Malin is famous for that plant. McArthur also alludes to the discovery of fossils near Malin in 1925.<ref>{{cite book|last=McArthur|first=Lewis A.|title=Oregon Geographic Names|edition=5th|location=Portland|year=1982|publisher=Western Imprints|page=468}}</ref> Many surviving descendants of these original [[Czech American|Czech]] families still call Malin home and maintain family farms.
