The Leipzig tramway ({{langx|de|Straßenbahn Leipzig}}) is a network of tramways which, together with the S-Bahn Mitteldeutschland, forms the backbone of the public transport system in Leipzig, a city in Saxony, Germany. Opened in 1872, the network has been operated since 1938 by Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe (LVB). The network has been integrated in the Mitteldeutscher Verkehrsverbund (MDV) since 1 August 2001.

With its 13 lines, route length of {{convert|143.5|km|mi|abbr=on}} and 522 tram stops, the network is currently the third biggest in Germany, after the Cologne and Berlin tramway networks.
