The Rouen tramway (French: Tramway de Rouen) branded as the Rouen Metro (French: Métro de Rouen) is a semi-metro network in the city of Rouen in Normandy, France. The semi-metro network (a type of light rail or tramway) runs low-floor trams since its inception. Construction began in 1991 and the network opened for service on 17 December 1994. The network includes an underground tunneled section running 1.8 km beneath the city centre, before splitting into two street-level branches south of the Seine River.
