The LRTA 13000 class is a class of fourth-generation high-floor light rail vehicles (LRV) of the Light Rail Transit Authority servicing the LRT Line 1, manufactured by CAF. Purchased in 2017 with Japanese funding as part of the Cavite extension of the line, the trains entered service in July 2023 to replace the aging first-generation 1000 class trains.

It is the first LRV in the system with 5 digits in the body number due to the class fleet exceeding 99 units, in comparison to the older fleet.
