The Angers tramway (French: Tramway d'Angers) is the tramway network in the French city of Angers in Pays de la Loire.

Opened on 25 June 2011,^[2] the system is operated by RATP Dev and replaced some bus lines, with the buses redeployed throughout the rest of the metropolitan area. The Alstom APS ground-level power supply has been used on two parts of the line totalling 1.5 km (0.93 mi)^[2] in order to avoid overhead lines in the centre of Angers and Avrillé. Angers is the third city using such system, after Bordeaux and Reims.
