Tradate is a city and comune located in the province of Varese, in the Lombardy region of northern Italy.

It is located 15 kilometres (9 mi) from the city of Varese (the province's capital), and according to the 2018 census Tradate's population was 18,983.

The city hosts the Fisogni Museum of the Petrol Stations, awarded by Guinness World Records for the biggest collection in the world of fuel pumps, and the Frera Motorcycle Museum.

There are two different interpretations about its creation: In Roman times, the Mediolanum-Bilitio road passed through Tradate's territory.

This road connected Mediolanum (Milan) and Luganum (Lugano), passing through Varisium (Varese).
