Santa Magdalena de Polpís (Valencian pronunciation: [ˈsanta maɡdaˈlena ðe polˈpis], Spanish: Santa Magdalena de Pulpis) is a town and municipality in the Baix Maestrat comarca, province of Castelló, Valencian Community, Spain.
The town is located inland in a flat valley between the two mountain ranges of Serra d'Irta and Serra de les Talaies. It is a rural dryland farming town with only marginal industrial activity, where the main cultivation is olive, almond and carob trees, as well as some orange trees in irrigated patches. There is no river in the valley, instead the water emerges in natural ponds known as basses.
The main celebration in Santa Magdalena de Polpís is the Festes patronals in honor of Saint Mary Magdalene.
