Crayon Shin-chan in Malaysia refers to the Malay and Mandarin adaption of the Crayon Shin-chan series in Malaysia.
In Malaysia, Crayon Shin-chan is titled "Dik Cerdas", which roughly means "brilliant kid" or "active kid".
It is unknown if Crayon Shin-chan manga and anime series will be released in Singapore.

The series debuted in Malaysia in the mid 1990s with the Chinese and Malay translation of the manga.
There were 50 volumes translated into the Malay language.
The publisher was Comics House which closed its doors in October 2016.

The anime airs in Malay on NTV7 every Saturday at 7PM (Monday at 7PM formerly) since 2002. There are four persons that have voiced the character Shinchan in the Malaysian dub of Crayon Shinchan in Malaysia. The first generation was voiced by Ammar Daniel Osman (2002-2003), second generation voiced by Arfalie Fikrie Razali (2003-2008), third generation voiced by Danish Osman (2008-2012) and the last generation voiced by Amirul Arif Bin Abdul Manaf (2013-2018) before the series taken over by GoShop.

It gained moderate success.
