The Kryvyi Rih trolleybus system forms part of the public transport network serving Kryvyi Rih, in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine.

In operation since 1957, the system presently comprises 23 routes, and is managed by the Kryvyi Rih City Counsil. It uses a fleet of 76 trolleybuses, which partly are articulated vehicles. The Kryvyi Rih public transport system, except for taxi, uses a simple flat rate tariff system regardless of distance traveled: tickets or tokens must be purchased each time a vehicle is boarded. Discount passes are available for grade school and higher education students. Pensioners use public transportation free. Ticket prices are regulated by the city government, and the cost of one ride is far lower than in Western Europe.
