The CAF Inneo M7 is a series of electric multiple unit (EMU) trainsets used on the Amsterdam Metro network. The trains entered service on 28 February 2023 and are expected to remain in operation for at least 30 years.

Each M7 set consists of three carriages, with a total length of nearly 60 metres, roughly half the length of an M5 trainset. During peak hours, the M7 is typically operated in double formation to provide additional capacity, while single sets are used at other times to prevent overcapacity and facilitate more efficient maintenance.

The M7 currently operates on the East Line (Line 53 and Line 54) and the Ring Line (Line 50). Deployment on the North–South Line (Line 52) is not planned at this time.

CAF previously supplied the 37 S3/M4 trainsets used on the Ring Line in 1996, and in 2016 also won the contract to supply the 15G series trams for the Amsterdam Tram network.
