The College Park Trolley Trail is a 2.6 mile long rail trail within the city of College Park Maryland.

The trail runs on the abandoned right-of-way of the Washington, Berwyn and Laurel streetcar. Streetcars started running on the line in 1903 as part of the Columbia and Maryland Railway and ran until 1962 when the entire DC Transit system switched to buses.

The first section of the trail, a 1.1 mile long stretch north from Paint Branch Parkway to Greenbelt Road, opened in 2002. A second 1.5 mile long section north to Paducah Road opened in 2005. A third section south to Albion Road is planned.
