The KTM ETS, commercially known as ETS (Electric Train Service), is an inter-city higher-speed rail service in Malaysia operated by Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM). It was introduced as the operator's second electrified train service after KTM Komuter, and represents Malaysia's second inter-city rail system after KTM Intercity.

Launched in 2010, the ETS is Malaysia's fastest metre-gauge train service. It operates on the historic KTM West Coast Line in western Peninsular Malaysia, which has since been largely electrified and double-tracked. Its maximum speed of 140 km/h (87 mph) is among the fastest for metre-gauge train services worldwide.

The service runs along the full extent of the West Coast Line, between Padang Besar near the border with Thailand and JB Sentral near the border with Singapore.
