The Alabama and Vicksburg Railway (A&V), also known as the Alabama and Vicksburg, is a historic Mississippi railroad chartered in 1889 in Mississippi and in operation, from Meridian, westward to Vicksburg for a total of 141.522 miles (227.758 km) until being taken over by the Illinois Central Railroad in 1959. The A&V acquired all of the tracks, rolling stock, and fixed property, from the 1889 reorganization.
