Reeves Corner tram stop is a stop on the Tramlink service in central Croydon.

It is normally only served by trams travelling eastbound from Wimbledon to Croydon; trams going in the opposite direction pass the station on the other side of the road without stopping. The complementary stop for westbound trams is the Church Street tram stop.

{{As of|May 2019}}, redevelopment was taking place. Arcadia House, which adjoined the platform, had been demolished and was being replaced by a new high-rise structure known as 'Cairo'.{{cite web|url=https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/PAWS/media_id_322618/arcadia_house_report.pdf|title=planning report D&P/3663/01 Arcadia House, Cairo New Road Old Town Croydon, CR0 1XP|date=16 December 2015|website=london.gov.uk|access-date=3 May 2019}}

The name is derived from House of Reeves, a furniture store established in 1867, one of whose buildings was destroyed in the 2011 England riots.{{cite news | url=http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/at-a-glance/main-section/the_family_store_that_defied_war_falls_to_yob_blitz_1_3663337 | title=The family store that defied war falls to yob blitz | work=Yorkshire Post | date=10 August 2011 | access-date=13 August 2011}}
