}}

The Krefeld tramway network ({{langx|de|Straßenbahnnetz Krefeld}}) is a network of tramways forming part of the public transport system in Krefeld, a city in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Opened in 1883, the network has been operated since 2002 by SWK MOBIL, and is integrated in the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr (VRR).

Lines

{{As of|2013|06}}, the Krefeld tramway network had four lines, operating in Krefeld and St.Tönis.

All of these lines, along with lines U70 and U76 of the Düsseldorf-Krefeld Stadtbahn, run through the centre of Krefeld, on a combined double track route via Ostwall, using four rails per track (two of them metre gauge, and the other two standard gauge).
