The Meeting de Atletismo Madrid is an annual international athletics meeting that takes place at the Estadio de Vallehermoso in Madrid, Spain.

The first edition took place in 1979 at Estadio de Vallehermoso. In 1994, the meeting moved to the recently built Estadio de la Comunidad de Madrid. When this stadium closed for major reforms in 2004, the meeting went back to Vallehermoso until 2007, when the stadium was demolished and the meeting moved again, this time to Centro Deportivo Municipal Moratalaz. In 2019 Estadio de Vallehermoso reopened after reconstruction and the meeting went back to its original site.Until 2020, the meeting was part of the IAAF World Challenge and is now a World Athletics Continental Tour Silver meeting.
