Malvaglia used to be a town, also known as a municipality, in Switzerland. It was located in the Blenio district, which is part of the Ticino canton.

On April 1, 2012, Malvaglia joined with two other towns, Ludiano and Semione. Together, they formed a new, bigger town called Serravalle. You can also find a large water reservoir called Bacino di Val Malvaglia above the village.
