Manly Tram Depot was part of the Sydney tram network.
Manly Depot served the isolated Manly lines. It opened in 1903, being rebuilt in 1911 for electric trams. It closed along with the network on 30 September 1939. The tram sheds were demolished while the electric tram sheds were modified for use as a bus depot and subsequently adapted for commercial use being a car dealership and later retail markets.
The depot had a steel frame with a saw tooth roof covering five roads with the tramcars having to enter the new shed through the old steam tram sheds, which were timber framed and clad in corrugated iron. Design included:
The depot served the isolated Manly lines with services to Harbord, Narrabeen and The Spit.
