The Rimini trolleybus system (Italian: Rete filoviaria di Rimini) forms part of the public transport network of the Province of Rimini, in the region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy.

The network consists of two trolleybus routes that connect the city centres of the coastal comuni of Rimini and Riccione. In operation since 1939 (with subsequent termini modifications), route 11 runs along the principal seafront avenue from Rimini's railway station to Riccione Terme. In November 2019, the Metromare was launched as a bus rapid transit line running entirely on segregated tracks adjacent to the Bologna–Ancona railway between the railway stations of Rimini and Riccione. Metromare was temporarily served by buses until the arrival of its trolleybuses in October 2021. Both routes are operated by Start Romagna SpA.
