The National Statistics Office (NSO) is Malta's official national statistical agency. It provides statistics on a wide range of social and economic matters, covering the population in general, Government and the business sectors. The NSO also has an important coordination function with respect to the statistical activities of other official bodies in Malta.

The NSO was established by virtue of the Malta Statistics Authority Act XXIV of 2000 and replaced the Central Office of Statistics as from 1 March 2001. Section 10 of this Act determines the functions and responsibilities of the Office which include the collection, compilation, extraction and release of official statistics relating to the demographic, social, environmental, economic and general activities and conditions of Malta.
