The Flexity Classic is a model of light-rail tram manufactured by Bombardier. Although it is marketed as the most traditionally-designed member of the Flexity family, it is nevertheless a modern bi-directional articulated tram with a low-floor section allowing improved accessibility, especially to passengers in wheelchairs.

It is used by a number of German cities (Flexity Classic XXL in Leipzig) and in Kraków, Poland. Flexity Classics were chosen to replace heritage trams used on the Glenelg tramline in Adelaide, Australia as they are a proven design and have low maintenance requirements. This variant has vigilance control.

The Flexity Classic's closest competitors are the Alstom Citadis, the Combino and Avanto from Siemens, and Bombardier's other Flexity trams (including the Swift, Outlook, and Link).
