Enrique of Malacca (Spanish: Enrique de Malaca; Portuguese: Henrique de Malaca) was a Malay member of the Magellan expedition who is believed to have completed the first circumnavigation of the world from 1519–1522. Enrique was Ferdinand Magellan's personal slave and interpreter, and outlived most members of the expedition including Magellan himself, but was not among the 18 survivors (out of about 270 men) who returned to Spain in September 1522, three years after they left.
