The Singapore trolleybus system was part of the public transport network in Singapore for more than 35 years in the mid-20th century. Opened in 1926, it gradually replaced the Singapore tramway network.
The system lasted until the end of 1962, when it was closed and replaced by a network of motor bus routes.
