Metropia is a Canadian television soap opera, which aired on Omni Television from 2004 to 2006. The series focused on the lives and loves of a group of racially and sexually diverse young men and women living in Toronto, Ontario.

The show also incorporated aspects of interactive television. and each week's episodes were repeated on Sunday nights on OMNI 1. However, the show's early episodes attracted low ratings, as it was competing in a time slot occupied on other channels almost entirely by the second half of hour-long drama series, and by January 2005 its weeknight airing had been shifted to 11 p.m. Jim Bawden of the Toronto Star modestly praised the show as "a showcase for a dozen up-and-coming young Toronto actors".

Conversely, Joel Rubinoff of the Waterloo Region Record called it one of the worst new shows of the year, claiming that it was "so inept it could set race relations back an entire century".
