'''High Street''' was a [[tram stop]] on [[Greater Manchester]]'s light rail [[Manchester Metrolink|Metrolink]] network, located in [[Manchester city centre]], England. It was on the east side of High Street opposite [[Manchester Arndale]], between the present [[Shudehill tram stop]] and [[Market Street tram stop]].

The stop opened on 27 April 1992.<ref>{{cite book |last=Butt |first=R.V.J. |title=The Directory of Railway Stations |year=1995 |publisher=Patrick Stephens Ltd |location=Yeovil |isbn=1-85260-508-1 |id=R508 |page=120 }}</ref> Market Street (which opened the same day,<ref>{{harvnb|Butt|1995|p=155}}</ref> and was just around the corner) and High Street Metrolink stops effectively formed a single station staggered across a road junction, with different stop names for each platform: southbound vehicles (going towards [[Piccadilly Gardens tram stop|Piccadilly Gardens]] and [[St Peter's Square tram stop|St Peter's Square]]) stopped at the High Street stop, and northbound vehicles (going towards [[Manchester Victoria railway station|Victoria]]) stopped at Market Street. <ref name="Shudehill " group="notes">Shudehill tram stop did not open until 2003, and so the next stop for northbound trams after High Street was Manchester Victoria station</ref> High Street, Market Street and [[Mosley Street tram stop]]s were each originally built with a single-platform construction and one-way operation due to constraints on available space in the road layout.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Ogden |first1=Eric |last2=Senior |first2=John A. |title=Metrolink |date=1992 |publisher=Transport Publishing |isbn=978-0863171550 |pages=61, 89}}</ref>

Market Street was modified to handle traffic in both directions when the street was closed to traffic, and the High Street platform was demolished in 1998 after six years' service.
