The Metropolitan Archdiocese of Madrid (Latin: Archidioecesis Metropolitae Matritensis) is a Latin archdiocese of the Catholic Church in Spain. It is one of Spain's fourteen metropolitan archbishoprics. Since 12 June 2023 the archbishop of Madrid has been José Cobo Cano.

Although Madrid has been the seat of the Spanish Crown since 1561, the diocese was only created in the late 19th century and gained the status of an archdiocese in 1991. Its cathedral archiepiscopal see is the Catedral de Santa María la Real de la Almudena, in Spain's national capital Madrid. The metropolitan city area also has several minor basilicas: the Basílica Ex-Catedral de San Isidro (the former pro-cathedral), the Basílica de San Lorenzo (a World Heritage Site, in El Escorial), the Basílica de la Asunción de Nuestra Señora (dedicated to the Assumption, in Colmenar Viejo), the Basílica de la Concepción de Nuestra Señora, the Basílica de Nuestro Padre Jesús de Medinaceli, the Basílica de San Vicente de Paul (Milagrosa), the Basílica de Santa Cruz (dedicated to the Holy Cross, in El Valle de los Caídos), the Basílica Pontificia de San Miguel, the Real Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Atocha (royal, a National Shrine), the Real Basílica de San Francisco el Grande (also royal).
