The Palma Metro (Catalan: Metro de Palma, Spanish: Metro de Palma [de Mallorca]) is a light metro system in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. The system is operated by the Consorci de Transports de Mallorca (CTM).

As of 2024, the system consists of a single 7.2-kilometre-long (4.5 mi) line, the M1, with nine stations,[3][1] linking Palma's city centre with the University of the Balearic Islands on the edge of the city. Between 2013 and 2022 there existed a second line, the M2, which ran between Palma and the town of Marratxí.

In 2016, the Palma Metro carried 1.2 million passengers, an average of 3,288 per day.[2]
