The Gdynia trolleybus system serves the city of Gdynia, Poland. It is one of three remaining trolleybus systems in Poland (the others being those in Lublin and Tychy).

The system was opened on September 18, 1943. Today it consists of 12 lines (numbered from 20 to 31). Two lines (21 and 31) extend to the neighbouring city of Sopot. As of 2007, its fleet comprised 86 12-meter-long trolleybuses.

The system is operated by Przedsiębiorstwo Komunikacji Trolejbusowej (Trolleybus Transport Company) working under commission of Zarząd Komunikacji Miejskiej (Public Transport Bureau).
