In Malaysian history, Durbar is the Conference of Rulers that begun in 1897. It was a platform for Federated Malay States rulers under British protectorate to discuss issues pertaining state policies. The membership of Durbar increased after the Federation of Malaya was formed in 1948 to encompass other states of Malaya.

It was further enlarged after modern federal Malaysia was formed in 1963, and became the electoral college for the federal paramount ruler.
