Sacharovlaan is a tram stop within the city of Amstelveen, Netherlands. The stop lies along tram line 25, which was dubbed the Amsteltram before it received its line number. It opened officially on 13 December 2020, unofficially 4 days earlier on 9 December. The tram stop serves the Legmeer business district.
Sacharovlaan was earlier a stop for metro line 51, a hybrid metro/sneltram (light rail) service, that opened to Sacharovlaan and Westwijk in 2004. Like a metro, the sneltram used high-level platforms. Metro service south of Amsterdam Zuid station was closed in 2019 to lower platforms to accommodate the new low-floor trams for line 25.
