Transport in Niger is composed of the transportation systems and methods used in this landlocked nation, with cities separated by huge uninhabited deserts, mountain ranges, and other natural features.
 A poor nation, Niger's transport system was little developed during the colonial period (1899–1960), relying upon animal transport, human transport, and limited river transport in the far south west and south east.
 No railways were constructed in the colonial period, and roads outside the capital remained unpaved.
 The Niger River is unsuitable for large-scale river transport, as it lacks depth for most of the year and is broken by rapids at many spots.
 Camel caravan transport was historically important in the Sahara desert and Sahel regions which cover most of the north.
