  The Equivalence Principle is considered in the framework of metric-affine
gravity. We show that it naturally emerges as a Noether symmetry starting from
a general non-metric theory. In particular, we discuss the Einstein Equivalence
Principle and the Strong Equivalence Principle showing their relations with the
non-metricity tensor. Possible violations are also discussed pointing out the
role of non-metricity in this debate.
