The Kalgoorlie to Gnumballa Lake railway line was a set of state government-owned and WAGR-operated railway lines in the Goldfields–Esperance region of Western Australia. It connected Kalgoorlie to Lakeside, at Gnumballa Lake (now Hannan Lake or Hannan's Lake), as well as Boulder, through the Boulder Townsite Loop railway line and Brown Hill, through the Brown Hill Loop railway line. At Kalgoorlie, it connected to the Eastern Goldfields Railway. For a short duration in the 1920s, the railway line also continued on from Lakside to Brown Hill.^[1]

Much of the area of the former railway line has been taken up by the open pit operations of the Super Pit gold mine.^[2]
