Meta (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmeta]) is a department of Colombia.

It is close to the geographic center of the country, to the east of the Andean mountains.

A large portion of the department, which is also crossed by the Meta River, is covered by a grassland plain known as the Llanos.

Achagua, which is similar to Piapoco, is an Indigenous language spoken by a minority in the department.
