The Škoda 10 T, or Skoda 10T, the latter being the common English-language form, is a three-carbody-section low-floor bi-directional tram, developed by Škoda Transportation. It was in production from 2000 to 2002.

The vehicle is four-axled, and is based on the Škoda 03 T, which is a uni-directional model operating in a few cities in the Czech Republic. The low-floor area represents 50% of the entire vehicle floor.

The 10T was originally part of Skoda's Astra model line, although in the United States it was referred to only as the 10T. However, it was later made part of the company's Elektra model line, after that new line of models was created, around 2010.
