The CatlinsRiver Branch was a branch line railway that formed part of New Zealand's national rail network.
It ran through the Catlins region in southwestern Otago and was built in sections between 1879 and 1915.
Passenger traffic began to decline in the 1930s, and although it improved during World War II, the return of peace brought the return of the decline, and on 30 November 1958, passenger services on the line were cancelled.
