The D2 class, or Combino (affectionately known as "Bigbino"), electric tram operates in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. They were built by Siemens Transportation Systems, and the first unit was delivered to the city in 2004, with the last units entering service in November 2004.

The D2 class is a 5-section tram and can be found on Melbourne's southeastern and inner tram routes. The fleet is operated by Yarra Trams, with some units formerly being operated by M>Tram, who ordered the fleet.

The D2 cab controls are identical to the those on the D1 class.
