The Duisburg tramway network (German: Straßenbahnnetz Duisburg) is a network of tramways forming part of the public transport system in Duisburg, a city in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
Opened in 1881, the network has been operated since 1940 by the Duisburger Verkehrsgesellschaft (DVG) and is integrated into the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr (VRR). It now forms part of the larger Duisburg Stadtbahn system, which in turn makes up part of the Rhine-Ruhr Stadtbahn system.
As of 2013[update], the Duisburg tramway network had the following lines:
| Line | Route | Travel time | Stops | Headway (rush hour) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 901 | Obermarxloh Schleife – Marxloh Pollmann – Beeck Denkmal – Laar Kirche – Scholtenhofstraße – Ruhrort Friedrichsplatz – Kaßlerfeld – König-Heinrich-Platz – Duisburg Hbf – Zoo/Uni – MH-Speldorf – MH Stadtmitte – Mülheim Hbf | 64 min | 46 | 7.5 / 15 min |
