Maļinova (historically and locally[1] known as Maļinovka) is a mid-size village in Maļinova Parish, Augšdaugava Municipality in the Latgale region of Latvia. It is 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 selsoviet and the Znamya Oktyabrya kolkhoz.[2]

Today Maļinova is the home of the parish administration, a house of culture, library, feldsher station and the Elijah the Prophet Orthodox church, which is a rebuilt priest's house.[3] A bell tower was built here, as a result of donations, and in 2008, three new bells were bought.[4]

The first church in Malinova was built in 1836, but was burned down during the second world war, and in its place was built a Culture house, which was burned down in 2010.[5] A new Orthodox church is being built on this same sit.[6]
