Metallo (/məˈtæloʊ/) is the name of different supervillains appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly as an adversary of Superman. All versions of the character are powered by kryptonite and are partially or completely mechanical.

In 2009, Metallo was ranked as IGN's 52nd-greatest comic book villain of all time.

Metallo has been adapted into numerous media outside comics, primarily in association with Superman. Malcolm McDowell, Lex Lang, Jim Rash, Paul Blackthorne, and John C. McGinley have voiced the character in animation. Furthermore, several versions of Metallo appear in the live-action series Supergirl.
