Montélimar (; Vivaro-Alpine: Montelaimar ; ) is a town in the Drôme department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in Southeastern France. It is the second-largest town in the department after Valence. In 2022, the commune had a population of 40,356; its urban area had a population of 58,395.

==History== The site where the city of Montélimar stands today has been inhabited since the Celtic era. It was reconstructed during the Roman reign, including a basilica, aqueducts, thermae and a forum. The Adhémar family reigned over the city in the Middle Ages and built a castle (Château des Adhémar) which dominates the city silhouette even today. The Hôtel de Ville was officially opened in 1876.
