The Alicante Tram, trademarked as Alicante Metropolitan TRAM (Valencian: TRAM Metropolità d'Alacant, Spanish: TRAM Metropolitano de Alicante), is a rail transport network operating in the city of Alicante, and its surrounding area, in the Valencian Community of Spain. It was inaugurated on 15 August 2003 replacing narrow-gauge diesel trains between Alicante and El Campello.
Like other narrow gauge railways in the Valencian Community, it is run by Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana (FGV). The Alicante Metropolitan Tram network combines different modes of rail services: a partially underground light rail through Alicante city centre, a tram-train from Alicante to Benidorm, and conventional commuter rail from Benidorm to Altea, Calp and Dénia.
