Sagene ring is a former tramway in Oslo, Norway. The route was operated as line 0 of the Oslo Tramway between 1916 and 1954. The line went from the depot behind Sagene Church along Nordre Gravlund, Geitmyrsveien, Colletts gate, Ullevålsveien, Akersgaten, Karl Johans gate, via Stortorvet, Storgata, Thorvald Meyersgate, Bentesbrua to Sagene.

After the tramway was closed the large tram halls were disused and three housing complexes were built on the shunting area while the halls themselves were transformed into commercial buildings.
