Kematen in Tirol is a municipality in the district Innsbruck-Land located about 12 km west of Innsbruck.

The municipal area lies mainly on the alluvial cone of the Melach south of the Inn.

The Inn and Melach rivers form the northern and western boundaries of the municipality.

The village name Kematen probably goes back to the Latin caminata, which means "heated chamber".

The place is first mentioned in documents around 1143 as "Kemenatin" in records of the Dießen Abbey founded by the Counts of Dießen-Andechs.
