The Tram System of Tallinn is the only tram system in Estonia.^[6] Together with the four-route trolleybus network (et), the four tram lines (currently allocated into five routes),^[7] with a total length of 19.7 km (12.2 miles), are arranged in a roughly cross-shaped layout, providing a backbone for the public transport network in the Estonian capital. Four of the five routes meet up at the stop Hobujaama, in the city center. Trams are unidirectional, one-sided and single-person operated, and much of the network runs on segregated two-way track.

The network is operated by Tatra KT4 and KTNF6 types (the latter being former KT4s that have been extended with the addition of a low-floor middle section), CAF Urbos AXLs, and since 2024, Pesa Twists.

The trams, buses and trolleybuses in Tallinn are operated by the capital's transport operator Tallinna Linnatranspordi AS. This company was created on 19 July 2012, when Tallinn's bus company (Tallinna Autobussikoondis) was merged with the tram and trolleybus company (Tallinna Trammi- ja Trollibussikoondis).
