The Essen tramway network (German: Straßenbahnnetz Essen) is a 52.4-kilometer (32.6 mi)[1] network of tramways forming part of the public transport system in Essen, a city in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Parts of the system also serve the neighbouring city of Gelsenkirchen.

Opened in 1893, the network has been operated since 1954 by Ruhrbahn [de] (formerly Essener Verkehrs-AG), and is integrated in the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr (VRR).

The network is complemented by the three light rail lines of the Essen Stadtbahn.
