Cincinnati Street Railway was the public transit operator in Cincinnati, Ohio, from 1859 to 1952. The company ceased streetcar operations and was renamed Cincinnati Transit Commission.

The company was founded in 1859 and was one of several operators. The Cincinnati Consolidated Railway merged with CSR in 1880:

  • Passenger Railroad of Cincinnati 1859-1873 - merged with CCR
  • Route Nine Street Railroad 1859-1873 - merged with CCR
  • Pendleton Street Railroad 1860-1873 - merged with East and West Street Railroad Company and finally with CCR in 1873
  • Cincinnati, Walnut Hills, Avondale and Pleasant Ridge Street Railway 1874-1880 - merged with CSR
  • Storrs and Sedamsvill Street Railroad 1878-1880

  • Mount Auburn Cable Railway 1887-1896
  • Mount Auburn Street Railway 1864-1873
  • Cincinnati and Columbia Street Railway 1866-1896

Some of the city's streetcars were sold to the Toronto Transit Commission upon abandonment.

The company began subway construction from 1920 to 1925, but the route was abandoned due to lack of money.
