The Hague Tram (Dutch: Haagse tram) is a tram network forming part of the public transport system in and around the city of The Hague in South Holland, Netherlands.

Opened in 1864, as of 2018 the network has twelve tram lines, three of which were built to light rail standards and currently operate under the RandstadRail brand. The network has 117 kilometres of rails and 241 stops. It has been operated by HTM Personenvervoer since 2002, being the successor of N.V. Gemengd Bedrijf Haagsche Tramweg-Maatschappij (1 January 1927 – 11 June 2002) and before that N.V. Haagsche Tramweg-Maatschappij (HTM) (1 May 1887 – 1 January 1927).

The network serves six municipalities outside of The Hague: Rijswijk, Leidschendam-Voorburg, Delft, Pijnacker-Nootdorp, Zoetermeer, and Westland.
