The Brandenburg an der Havel tramway network (German: Straßenbahnnetz Brandenburg an der Havel) is a network of tramways forming the centrepiece of the public transport system in Brandenburg an der Havel, a city in the federal state of Brandenburg, Germany.
Opened in 1897 as a horsecar system, the network was converted to an electrically powered system in 1911. It is currently operated by Verkehrsbetriebe Brandenburg an der Havel (VBBr).
