Persatuan Industri Rakaman Malaysia (RIM) (English: Recording Industry Association of Malaysia) is a Malaysian non-profit music organisation, founded on 12 December 1978, as the Malaysian Association of Phonograph Producers (MAPP). In the end of the 1980s, it changed its name to Malaysian Association of Phonogram and Videogram Producers and Distributors (MAPV). It adopted its current name in 1996.

It currently represents over 340 locally incorporated recording companies and businesses, all of which are involved in the production, manufacturing and distribution of local and international sound, music video and karaoke recording.{{Cite web|url=http://www.rim.org.my/main/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=33&Itemid=58|title=Recording Industry Association of Malaysia – About RIM|website=www.rim.org.my|access-date=2018-10-30}} This accounts for around 95% of all legitimate recordings commercially available in the music market of Malaysia.
