Metro International is a Swedish media company.

Under the brand name Metro, it runs the world's largest chain of free newspapers, 57 daily Metro editions are published and distributing in 81 major cities in 18 countries in 17 languages across Europe, North & South America and Asia. The company was started as a subsidiary of the Modern Times Group, and the first edition was published and distributed for the Stockholm Metro.

The newspaper is primarily distributed in metro systems, and locally the name may vary due to trademark issues. One example is the Hong Kong edition, which is called Metropolis Daily.

Note: Another freesheet called Metro is published in 12 areas around Britain by Associated Newspapers: see Metro (Associated Metro Limited). This is not related to Metro International, which used the name Morning News for its (now defunct) freesheet distributed in parts of the UK. It is reported that Metro International has plans to launch a rival free evening newspaper in London [1].
