The Malta Communications Authority (MCA) is a statutory regulator established in 2001 and based in Valletta, Malta. It oversees the regulation of electronic communications—including telecommunications, radiocommunications and broadcasting transmission—as well as the eCommerce and postal sectors, and it administers the Web Accessibility Directive to ensure public sector websites and apps meet accessibility standards. The MCA seeks to promote competition, protect consumers and foster innovation, tackling complex issues across law, economics and technology with decisions that are fair and clearly explained, under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Jesmond Bugeja and a cross-functional, multidisciplinary structure.

Based in Valletta, the agency serves providers and public sector bodies within the Maltese market through its regulatory functions. In 2021, the MCA launched telecosts.com, a website that compares costs and features across Malta's three communications providers. The organization also engages in partnerships and initiatives, such as collaboration with the eSkills Malta Foundation, illustrating its involvement in broader capacity-building and market-development activities.
