List of town tramway systems in the United Kingdom

This is a list of town tramway systems in the United Kingdom divided by constituent country and by regions of England. It includes all tram systems, past and present. Most of the tram systems operated on or track, although there were a small number of other gauges used. Where known, the track gauge is indicated in the 'Notes' column.
Most of these systems have closed, but a list of the remaining systems can be found at List of modern tramway and light rail systems in the United Kingdom.
At the peak of Britain’s first-generation tramways, it was possible to travel all the way from Pier Head at Liverpool to the Pennines in Rochdale by tram.
