Batu Berendam (translated as immersed rock) is a town and suburb of Malacca City in Malacca, Malaysia. It is home to the state's principal airport – Malacca Airport, as well as an eponymous industrial park, which houses mostly overseas-based electronics factory.[1][2][3]

Until the 1970s, Batu Berendam was a relatively rural village, with agriculture being the main economic activity.[4] Batu Berendam used to be accessible by train from Pulau Sebang like other towns along the Malacca River during the British colonial era, until the Japanese forces dismantled the railway tracks when occupying Malaya.
