The star says it is part of a pattern she has suffered during her career, with people questioning her looks, singing and talent.
Madonna says she is being "punished for turning 60" - and that it is part of a pattern of vilification she has faced throughout her career.
The singer, who releases her 14th album - Madame X - next month, said: "People have always been trying to silence me for one reason or another.
"Whether it's that I'm not pretty enough, I don't sing well enough, I'm not talented enough, I'm not married enough."
Now, she adds, it is "that I'm not young enough".
"I'm fighting ageism - now I'm being punished for turning 60," she told British Vogue magazine.
Madonna has enjoyed incredible career longevity - it is 35 years since Like A Virgin topped US charts and reached number three in the UK
Despite this, she says it can be lonely because there are "no living role models for me".
