Black Lake tram stop is a tram stop in the Black Lake area of West Bromwich in the West Midlands, England. It is on the West Midlands Metro that links Edgbaston with Wolverhampton and was opened on 31 May 1999. It has park and ride facilities. The stop is near to the site of the former Swan Village railway station, which closed in 1972. The railway station was on the opposite side of the level crossing and was the junction of the line through Great Bridge and on to Dudley via the currently mothballed South Staffordshire Line.
