The Articulated Light Rail Vehicle is a type of streetcar currently used by the Toronto Transit Commission in Toronto, Canada.

The ALRV is an extended version of the Canadian Light Rail Vehicle platform. A demo model, 4900 with pantograph, was built in 1984 and used by the Toronto Transit Commission for testing. It was later returned to UTDC and scrapped.

The streetcars are built by two contractors, SIG of Switzerland and Urban Transportation Development Corporation (UTDC) (now part of Bombardier) of Kingston, Ontario.

Currently, ALRV streetcars are used regularly on the 501 Queen, 504 King (Rush Hour Periods) 511 Bathurst and 508 Lake Shore routes.
