The title complex, [Ba₂Ni(C₃H₂O₄)₂(NO₃)₂(H₂O)₁₀]_n, has a two‐dimensional layer structure. The Ni atom lies on a crystallographic centre of symmetry in an octa­hedral NiO₆ environment, and is coordinated by four malonate O atoms in a planar arrangement and by two water mol­ecules in axial positions. The coordination of the unique Ba atom involves two nitrate O atoms, five water mol­ecules and three malonate O atoms.
