The Varna trolleybus system (Bulgarian: Варна Тролейбусен транспорт) forms part of the public transport network of the Black Sea city and municipality of Varna, the third most populous city in Bulgaria.

Opened in January 1986, the system has waxed and waned in size over time. As of 2013, it was made up of three routes.
