The Turin tramway network ({{langx|it|Rete tranviaria di Torino}}) is an important part, along with the Turin Metro, of the public transport network of the city and comune of Turin, in the Piedmont region, northwest Italy.
In operation since 1871, the network is about {{convert|88|km|mi|abbr=on}} long,[http://www.urbanrail.net/eu/it/tor/torino-tram.htm UrbanRail.Net – Torino] and comprises 10 lines.

=Light rail=
Of the urban lines, lines 3 and 9 were created as a light rail tram system in the 1980s. Today, line 3 is called a "fully protected" route, while line 9 is considered an ordinary tramway.
Line 4 has characteristics similar to line 3, although another type of tram vehicle is used. In any case, this line also includes long stretches of reserved sections to permit higher speeds.
On line 3, light rail vehicles of the series 7000 were used.
