Mirabel Madrigal is a fictional character that appears in Walt Disney Animation Studios' 60th feature, Encanto (2021). Mirabel is depicted as an imperfect, quirky, emotional and empathetic 15-year-old girl who is the only member of the Madrigal family who does not receive a magical gift. When their "miracle" begins to fade, Mirabel takes it upon herself to save the magic, learning of her familial troubles.

From the outset of the character's development, Mirabel was conceived as the only member of her family without a gift. The film's draft plot depicted her desperately searching for a gift but the character's motivation was adjusted to a desire to be noticed, which was deemed more relatable for the audience. Mirabel's physical appearance is based on that of tourist guide Alejandra Espinosa Uribe; Mirabel's design began with her skirt, whose extensive embroidery represents her personality. American actress Stephanie Beatriz provides Mirabel's voice; Beatriz first auditioned for the role of Luisa but was deemed perfect for Mirabel.

Critics praised the character and Beatriz's performance. Mirabel has also been discussed among therapists, especially by immigrant clients, and garnered a variety of awards.

Directors Byron Howard and Jared Bush said after finishing Zootopia (2016), they wanted their next project to be a musical, which became a Latin American musical after Lin-Manuel Miranda joined the project. The developers discussed their common experiences of having large extended families, and decided to make a musical film about a large extended family with twelve main characters. Howard and Bush discussed Latin American culture at length with Juan Rendon and Natalie Osma, who had worked with them on the making-of documentary Imagining Zootopia.

Mirabel Madrigal has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
