The Malabar Independent Syrian Church, also known as the Thozhiyur Sabah (Church), is a Christian church centred in Kerala, India. It is one of the churches of the Saint Thomas Christian community, which traces its origins to the evangelical activity of Thomas the Apostle in the 1st century.

Considered part of the Syriac Orthodox Group of churches in India, the church split from the main body of India's Malankara Church in 1771. After a court verdict in 1862, the church was given its current name Malabar Independent Syrian Church.

Today the church remains small, with about 35,000 members, and maintains good relations with the other Malankara churches.
