Sir Denis Eustace Gilbert Malone was a Caribbean jurist.

He graduated from Wycliffe College in 1941.[1] He was commissioned a flight sergeant in the Royal Air Force on 15 May 1945.[2] He served as Solicitor-General of Barbados, and then in February 1961 was appointed a Puisne Judge of the Supreme Court of British Honduras (today Belize).[3] He rose to Chief Justice of Belize in 1974 until his replacement in 1977 by Albert Staine, who became the first native of Belize to hold that position.[4][5] He was knighted in the 1977 Silver Jubilee and Birthday Honours.[6]

He went on to serve on the Supreme Court of the Bahamas as a Justice from May 1979 to September 1983, Acting Chief Justice from September to December 1983, and Senior Justice from January 1984 to November 1989.[7] Afterwards, he became Chief Justice of the Cayman Islands; in 1991, he called for more court facilities to handle the rising backlog of civil and criminal cases.[8][9]
