The Málaga Metro (Spanish: Metro de Málaga) is a semi-metro network in Málaga, Spain. Its two lines were inaugurated on 30 June 2014 and connect the city centre with the western suburbs. As of 2025, the network operates 13.2 km (8.2 mi) of route. There are 19 stations, 14 of which are underground while 5 are surface-level light rail stops.

The network's rolling stock consists of 18 Urbos 3 light rail vehicles (LRVs) manufactured by the Spanish company CAF. All vehicles are fully covered by CCTV and have air conditioning. Each one has a capacity of 226 people: 56 seated passengers and 170 standing. Both vehicles and stations are fully accessible for passengers with disabilities.

If Málaga Metro is considered a metro system, then it would be the second metro system to be built in Andalusia, after Seville Metro. Consequently, it would rank as the sixth-busiest metro system in Spain: it carried over 18 million passengers in 2024.
