The Danish Tramway Museum (Danish: Sporvejsmuseet Skjoldenæsholm) is a museum placed in Jystrup, Denmark, between Ringsted and Hvalsø. It is close to the Estate Skjoldenæsholm and it often referred to as The Tramway Museum of Skjoldenæsholm.
The museum opened on May 26, 1978 and is today driven by Sporvejshistorisk Selskab. The exhibition contains numerous buses, trams, locomotives, and other materials concerning public transport.
The museum is founded on some of the remains of Sjællandske Midtbane, a railway that was closed in 1936 and went from Næstved to Frederikssund over Ringsted and Hvalsø.
