Birmingham Corporation Tramways (BCT) is een openbaarvervoerbedrijf dat een tram- en trolleybusnetwerk in de Britse stad Birmingham exploiteerde. Ze functioneerde tussen 1904 en 1953. In dat jaar werden de tramlijnen in Birmingham opgeheven. Het netwerk was het grootste meterspoornetwerk in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Sinds 1999 is een deel van het oude tracé in gebruik door een nieuw trambedrijf, Midland Metro.
