马尔科姆四世

马尔科姆四世 (中世纪盖尔语：Máel Coluim mac Eanric；现代盖尔语：Maol Chaluim mac Eanraig；1141年4月23日和5月24日之间1165年12月9日)是苏格兰国王(1153年5月24日 – 1165年12月9日在位)，绰号处女王(Virgo)、少女王(the Maiden)。

他是亨廷顿和诺森布里亚伯爵亨利 (死于1152年)和的长子。其曾祖父马尔科姆三世 (Máel Coluim mac Donnchada)的绰号马尔科姆·坎莫尔(Malcolm Canmore)，可能原本是他的绰号。他继承了其祖父大卫一世的王位并深受了盎格鲁和诺曼人的影响。

后来的编年史称其为少女马尔科姆(Malcolm the Maiden)，这个绰号可能会错误地暗示给现代读者他是个无力或柔弱的君主，事实上他有迷信宗教并对骑士与战争有着浓厚的兴趣。由于他自小体弱多病，年仅二十四岁就未婚而死。
