List of town tramway systems in Finland

This is a list of town tramway systems in Finland. It includes all tram systems in Finland, past and present; cities with currently operating systems, and those systems themselves, are indicated in bold and blue background colored rows. The use of the diamond (♦) symbol indicates where there were (or are) two or more independent tram systems operating concurrently within a single metropolitan area. Those tram systems that operated on other than standard gauge track (where known) are indicated in the 'Notes' column.

As of 2014, it has been decided to build two new light rail systems: Tampere light rail and Turku light rail.
