The Avon Yard to Mullewa railway line is a 429-kilometre (267 mi) long railway line operated by Arc Infrastructure in the Mid West and Wheatbelt regions of Western Australia, connecting the Avon Yard at Northam with Mullewa. The 104-kilometre (65 mi) section of the railway line from Perenjori to Dalwallinu is, as of 2024^[update], not in operation, having closed in the late 1990s, while the sections north, Perenjori to Mullewa, and south, Dalwallinu to Northam, are.^[1][2][3][4]

At Mullewa, it connects to the Geraldton to Mullewa railway line. Historically, it also connected to the former Mullewa to Meekatharra railway line but only the 30-kilometre (19 mi) section from Mullewa to Pindar is still listed on official railway maps. At Northam, it connects to the Eastern Railway and the Eastern Goldfields Railway.^[1][2][3]

At Tilley Junction, north of Morawa, the Karara railway also connects to the line, while, at Goomalling, the Goomalling to West Merredin railway line connects to it.^[2][3]
