The only city in Armenia where a tram ever existed was Yerevan. On 29 September 1906, the Yerevan horse wagonway was opened. This type of narrow-gauge wagonway existed until August 1918, when the tram was destroyed during [[World War I]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://transit.parovoz.com/masstransit/index.php?ID=476|title= "transit.parovoz.com"|access-date=2016-05-05|archive-date=2012-07-19|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120719094359/http://transit.parovoz.com/masstransit/index.php?ID=476|url-status=live}}</ref>

On 12 January 1933, a wide-gauge electric tram was launched.<ref name=":0" /> The number of tram cars increased by 25% on average every five years, in 1933 it was 16, then in 1945 there were 77 cars, and in 1965 - 222 cars. Two types of trams were used, the 71-605 and the RVZ-6M2, both were [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] made. Since the cost of the tram was 2.4% higher than that of buses, as well as due to expensive electricity and problems arising when the tram crossed the [[Great Bridge of Hrazdan]] in Yerevan, route #7 (Erebuni - Zeytun) was closed on 20 June 2003.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://archives.armenianow.com/2003/july11/news/derailed/|title=De-Railed: Only one tram route remains following latest closer|access-date=2017-07-03|archive-date=2018-10-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181023234320/http://archives.armenianow.com/2003/july11/news/derailed/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Most of the tracks have been removed and the trams have been turned into [[Wrecking yard|scrap]]. The tram depot is used by various private enterprises, and the substation currently serves the [[Trolleybuses in Yerevan|Yerevan trolleybus]].
