High Street Metrolink stop was a former station on the Manchester Metrolink network in Manchester City Centre, England, UK. It was a platform located on the east side of High Street opposite Arndale Centre, between Shudehill and Market Street.

The stop opened on 27 April 1992.[1] Market Street (which opened the same day,[2] and was just around the corner) and High Street tram stops effectively formed a single station staggered across a road junction, with different stop names for each platform: southbound trams (going towards Piccadilly Gardens and St Peter's Square) stopped at the High Street stop, and northbound trams (going towards Victoria) stopped at Market Street.

Market Street was eventually modified to handle trams in both directions when the street was closed to traffic, and the High Street platform was demolished in 1998 after only six years' service.
