Madison Area Technical College (MATC) is the technical and community college for the Madison, Wisconsin area. It is among the largest of the 16 schools in the Wisconsin Technical College System, educating about 44,000 people per year.

The college was founded in 1912 to serve the local Madison community. It resided in the former Madison Central High School location in downtown; in the 1980s the campus was largely moved to an east-side location near Madison's airport, Truax Field.
