Sabah Day (Malay: Hari Sabah) is a self-government day celebrated on 31 August every year by the state of Sabah in Malaysia. Since 2012, the holiday has been received widely by the Sabah state government and the citizens of Sabah, and officially gazetted as an official state celebration in 2024.
Sabah Day was celebrated for the first time since 2023 and beyond alongside the Malayan Independence Day, after the state government approved the proposal to gazette 31 August as "Sabah Day" in 2021.
