Malonšići (in older forms: Malončići and Malonjšiki, Cyrillic: Малоншићи) was a historical tribe (''pleme'') and area in the Brda region of Montenegro. Malonšići were located between modern Danilovgrad and Podgorica. By the late 15th century they were slavicized and later assimilated into Bjelopavlići.
