+subproject_options
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This attribute allows defining Meson subproject options:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    def generate(self):
+        tc = MesonToolchain(self)
+        tc.subproject_options["SUBPROJECT"] = [{'MYVAR': 'MyValue'}]
+        tc.generate()
+
+This is translated to:
+
+- One subproject ``SUBPROJECT`` and option definition for ``MYVAR`` in the ``conan_meson_native.ini`` or ``conan_meson_cross.ini`` file.
+
+Note that in contrast to ``project_options``, ``subproject_options`` is a dictionary of lists of dictionaries. This is because Meson allows multiple subprojects, and each subproject can have multiple options.
