The Kingston upon Hull trolleybus system once served the city of Kingston upon Hull (usually referred to as Hull), in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Opened for service on {{Start date|1937|07|25|df=y}}[1][2] (two days after a ceremonial inauguration),[1] it gradually replaced the Hull tramway network.

By the standards of the various now-defunct trolleybus systems in the United Kingdom, the Hull system was a medium-sized one, with a total of 7 routes, and a maximum fleet of 100 trolleybuses.[2] It was closed on {{End date|1964|10|31|df=y}}.[1][2]

Hull's distinctively liveried trolleybuses played a role in the Philip Larkin poem, Here, which is set in Hull. None have survived.[3]
