The SW5 class is a class of electric tram that operates in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, introduced between 1939 and 1941. As with other W-class trams, they are commonly found on the City Circle, and are popular with tourists.

SW5 class trams have sliding doors, improved drop centre seating and round cornered windscreens to differentiate themselves from unconverted W5 class trams. Trams 840 - 849 were built as SW5 class trams initially, while other trams were converted from W5 class trams in the 1980s, with two conversions in 1956.

Fleet numbers

SW5 class trams have unusual fleet numbers, with most W5 class trams retaining their original fleet numbers as a different class.
