The Electoral Reform Select Committee is a select committee of the Malaysian House of Representatives, which study the matters related to the election process in Malaysia. It was first announced by Speaker of the House of Representatives Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof in April 2019 that a new select committee for electoral reform was to be set up. However, it is noted that an electoral reform select committee previously existed between October 2011 and April 2012. Unlike the yet-to-be-confirmed select committee, the temporary committee was not designed to study bills.

The creation of the new Elections Select Committee was among four new select committees announced by the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department in charge of legal affairs, Liew Vui Keong, on 17 October 2019.
