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). The KTM ETS is the second electric train service to be operated by the Malaysian railway company after KTM Komuter, and the second inter-city rail service after KTM Intercity.

Having begun operations in 2010, the ETS is the fastest metre-gauge train service in Malaysia and operates along the historical KTM West Coast Line in western Peninsular Malaysia, which has since been electrified and double-tracked. The line runs from the north at Padang Besar, near the border with Thailand, to Segamat in Johor. A southern extension from Segamat to Johor Bahru Sentral, near the border with Singapore, is expected to begin operations in 2025, completing the rail electrification between the northern and southern borders.

The rail service is currently operated by the KTM Intercity Division. It was previously operated by ETS Sendirian Berhad, a fully owned subsidiary of Keretapi Tanah Melayu.
