Día de la Toma de Granada (Day of the Conquest of Granada) is a festival which takes place in the city of Granada, Spain each 2 January. It celebrates the reconquest of the city on that day in 1492 by the Catholic Monarchs, which ended the Reconquista of the Iberian Peninsula.

The festivities begin at the Capilla Real, where the two monarchs are interred, and their banner is waved for religious celebration. The banner is given a military parade to the City Hall, where the youngest city councillor proclaims three times "Spain, Castile, Granada, for the illustrious Kings, Doña Isabella and Don Ferdinand" (España, Castilla, Granada, para los Reyes ilustres, Doña Isabel y Don Fernando).

In recent years, small groups of far-left protestors have attempted to disrupt the event, in opposition to the subsequent expulsion of non-Catholics by Spain.
