The Schwerin tramway network (German: Straßenbahnnetz Schwerin) is a network of tramways forming the key feature of the public transport system in Schwerin, the capital city of the federal state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.

Opened on 1 December 1908, the electrically powered network is currently operated by Nahverkehr Schwerin GmbH [de], and has four lines.

The network's four lines, and their headways during the day (depending in part upon the time of day, or day of week) are:

2 Lankow Siedlung – Hegelstraße 15 / 20 / 30 minutes

The three-section trams are 30 m long with space for 199 passengers, including 84 seated. Beginning in 2019 the trams were modernised with new electronics from Kiepe Electric and air conditioning.[1]
