Malvern Water is a historic brand of bottled spring water derived from the Colwall Spring in the Malvern Hills on the border of Herefordshire and Worcestershire, England. The water's reputation dates back centuries, famously being the only bottled water drunk by Queen Elizabeth I and receiving a Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria. Traditionally known for its extreme purity, as it is filtered through Precambrian granite rock, it contains very little mineral content.

The commercial bottling of Malvern Water was synonymous with the Schweppes brand for much of the 20th century. Coca-Cola Enterprises took over the operation and modern bottling plant later on. Despite its long history and royal associations, the large-scale commercial production of Malvern Water in its original form ceased around 2010 when Coca-Cola closed the Colwall plant, citing the small scale of the site compared to modern production requirements. Today, while the brand name is still remembered as a pinnacle of British spring water, it is no longer distributed as a global mass-market product by the original parent companies.
