The Lille Metro (French: Métro de Lille) is a driverless light metro system located in Lille, France. It was opened on 25 April 1983 and was the first to use the VAL (French: véhicule automatique léger, English: light automated vehicle) system. While often referred to as the first fully automated driverless metro of any kind in the world,^[4] the Port Liner in Kobe, Japan predates it by two years. The light metro system is made up of two lines that serve 60 stations, and runs over 45 kilometres (28 mi) of route.^[1]

The system forms part of a multi-modal public transport system covering the Lille metropolitan area, along with the buses and trams, operated under the Ilevia brand.
