Malfoy (derived from the Old French term for bad faith, mal foi ) in the Harry Potter series, is the surname of three characters, the first two of whom are sometimes simply referred to by their surname:
- Draco Malfoy, Harry's nemesis at Hogwarts.
- Lucius Malfoy, his father, a Death Eater.
- Narcissa Malfoy, née Black, Draco's mother and Lucius's wife, whose sympathies lie with those of Lucius and Draco.
Another member of the family, apparently dead before the series began, was Abraxas Malfoy, Lucius's father.
