Malestroit is a commune in the Morbihan department of Brittany in north-western France. The town is on the river Oust and part of the Nantes-Brest canal. It has several half-timbered houses.

The Nantes-Brest canal is no longer completely navigable. However, the section through the town is over 200 km long, and barges moor up near the centre of Malestroit. It is possible to hire a boat to explore the waterway. The nearby village of St. Marcel houses a museum dedicated to the Breton Resistance movement where a battle against the Nazis took place and was won by the Resistance fighters.
