The Tramway de Pithiviers à Toury (French pronunciation: [tʁamwɛ də pitivje a tuʁi], TPT) was a 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) gauge railway in the Loiret department of France. It was built to carry sugar beet and was 80 kilometres (50 mi) long.

Pithiviers and Toury are 31 kilometres (19 mi) apart, and sugar beet is a major agricultural product in the area. The Chemin de fer de Paris à Orléans passed through Toury. In 1892, the Société Decauville took a 15-year concession to build and operate a light railway linking Pithiviers and the surrounding villages to Toury.

There were sugar refineries at Pithiviers and Toury, and the line connected these. The route of the railway generally followed local roads. The line opened on 25 July 1892. The failure of the Société Decauville in 1898 meant that the operation of the TPT was taken over by the department on 1 January 1899 and later by the Ponts et Chaussees on 29 March 1901.

Traffic grew steadily until the Second World War. A railcar was introduced in 1922, and another followed in 1926, followed by two more acquired second-hand from the Chemins de fer du Calvados in 1937. After the war, traffic declined due to better roads in the area and increase in private vehicle ownership. The passenger service was withdrawn in 1951 but freight ran until 31 December 1964, with a final enthusiasts special running on 22 May 1965. However, this was not to be the end of the TPT.

The Association du Musée des Transports de Pithiviers (AMTP) was formed to preserve at least part of the line. It was agreed that Pithiviers would be suitable as there was a depot and workshops there. The 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) of roadside line to Ormes was saved, with an extension of one-half kilometre (0.3 mi) to Bellébat being built to take the terminus away from the busy road. The preserved line reopened on 23 April 1966.

The TPT operated the following rolling stock.

The TPT had a unique numbering system for its locomotives. The first figure denoted the number of driven axles, and the second figure denoted the individual locomotive number within that classification.
