The Metropolitan Theatre Awards (Spanish: Premios Metropolitanos de Teatro), commonly known as Premios Los Metro or simply Los Metro, is an annual ceremony which honors theatre performers, live productions, digital theatre and stagecraft in Mexico City only. It is important to mention that the productions noted in these awards are only local productions in Mexico City and not Mexico as a country.

Since 2018 there have been four ceremonies held in Mexico City with a television broadcast covered by MVS TV. The awards are also broadcast digitally through YouTube.

History
