Castile-La Mancha (Spanish Castilla-La Mancha) is an autonomous community of Spain.

Castile-La Mancha is bordered by Castile-Leon, Madrid, Aragon, Valencia, Murcia, Andalusia, and Extremadura.

Castile-La Mancha is composed of the provinces of Toledo, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara, and Albacete.

The capital of Castile-La Mancha is Toledo.

Castile-La Mancha was formerly grouped with the province of Madrid into New Castile, but with the advent of the autonomía system was separated due to great economic disparity between the capital and the Manchego hinterland.
