La Cabrera ({{IPA|es|la kaˈβɾeɾa|lang|Pronunciation of La Cabrera in Spanish.ogg}}) is a municipality in central Spain, around {{cvt|56|km|mi}} away from Madrid. La Cabrera belongs to the comarca called Sierra Norte de Madrid which is part of the wider autonomous Community of Madrid.

Covering an area of {{cvt|22.40|km2|sqmi}}, it is bordered to the north by Lozoyuela-Navas-Sieteiglesias, to the east by El Berrueco, to the south by Cabanillas de la Sierra and Torrelaguna, and to the east by Valdemanco.

European route E-05 runs through the town, following the old N-I radial road connecting Madrid to Irun and France (later split into the A-1).

La Cabrera is characterised by its mountainous topography with the prominent La Cabrera mountain range forming a natural limit to the North. The town is situated in the easternmost part of the range at about {{cvt|1,038|m|ft}} above sea level. Although most of the mountain range is in La Cabrera, it also reaches the neighbouring municipalities of Valdemanco and Lozoyuela.

The landscape is formed by a granite massif of Palaeozoic origin. Its main features include the summits of Cancho Gordo ({{cvt|1564|m|ft|disp=sqbr}}), Pico del Miel ({{cvt|1392|m|ft|disp=sqbr}}) and Cerro de La Cabeza ({{cvt|1247|m|ft|disp=sqbr}}), as well as natural springs and streams, including the Alfrecho stream which feeds the Jarama River.

Among its flora are the trees and thickets of the southern slopes, such as: Pyrenean Oak, Holm Oak, Poplar, Willow, and Pink Rockrose.
