Acaster Malbis () is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority of the City of York, England. It is located on the River Ouse, almost 5 miles (8 km) south of York. Nearby are the villages of Copmanthorpe 2 miles (3.2 km) to the north-west, Bishopthorpe 2 miles to the north and Appleton Roebuck 3.5 miles (6 km) to the south-west. The parish covers an area of about 2,000 acres (8.1 km2).
The Latin word for a camp is 'castra' indicating that the Roman army may once have been based here. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as "Acastre". The 'Malbis' is derived from the Norman Malbysse or De Malebys family. Malbis was a Norman personal name that in French means "very swarthy".
There was a Royal Air Force station in the village during and immediately after the Second World War.
According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 578, increasing to 669 at the 2011 Census. There are two churches and an inn in the village. The village is also the home for a holiday park.
The village was historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974. It was then a part of the district of Selby District in North Yorkshire from 1974 until 1996. Since 1996 it has been part of the City of York unitary authority.
