The Jaén metropolitan area is an urban area in Andalusia (Spain) centered on the city of Jaén. With a population of over 215,000 people, it ranks last in the metropolitan areas of Andalusia, but is the largest urban area in the Province of Jaén, Spain.

The area consists of 15 municipalities. It was defined by the Plan de Ordenación del Territorio de Andalucía in 2006. It mostly coincides with the Metropolitan Comarca of Jaén, except for some municipalities.

Despite its small size for Andalusian and Spanish standards, it is the most important area in the province. It holds over 34% of the province's population in just 11% of the area. As with the rest of the province, it has experienced a population decline since the early 2010s, but it has not been as severe as in other areas of the province.

Besides Jaén, relevant cities are Martos, Mancha Real and Mengíbar, whose industries represent an important part of the province's GDP.
