Melbourne's tram network is a major form of transportation in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, consisting of 24 tram routes. The system is owned by Public Transport Victoria. Yarra Journey Makers (trading as Yarra Trams), a joint venture of Transdev and John Holland Group,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> operates the network.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The tram network consists of over 250 kilometres (160 miles) of duplicated track in all 24 routes, making it the largest tram network in the world.<ref name=":1">Template:Cite web</ref>

The tram network consists of around 1,700 stops, with over 450 of them accessible to passengers.<ref name=":1" /> Some tram stops can be accessed by ramps, making them compliant to the Disability Discrimination Act 1992. Accessible low-floor trams are also operational.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

The tram network uses the Myki ticketing system, with the exception of the Free Tram Zone, which covers travel inside of the Melbourne CBD.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The City Circle tourist tram also does not use Myki, as it is fully inside the Free Tram Zone.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> All tram routes are within fare zone 1, with some stops on routes 75, 86, and 109 being in the zone 1 and 2 overlap.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
