Kyiv Light Rail or Kyiv Express Tram (Ukrainian: Київський швидкісний трамвай, translit.: Kyivs’kyi shvydkisnyi tramvai) consists of two light rail lines with rapid transit sections in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. The system is largely grade-separated and is only connected to Kyiv's regular tram system at Starovokzalna and Myloslavska.
The two separate light rail lines are not connected. A third line has been announced. Both extant lines have intermodal stations providing links with the Kyiv Metro, urban electric train, in addition to other modes of the city's public transport.
