Blue Metropolis (also known as Blue Met) is an international literary festival held annually in Montreal. Founded in 1999 by Montreal writer Linda Leith, it is considered the world's first multilingual literary festival.^[1] In early 2011, Leith departed, and a new president and a new director of programming were hired.

The festival is put on by Blue Metropolis Foundation, a nonprofit organization established in 1997 that offers educational and social programs.
