The Outtrim railway line is a closed railway situated in the South Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia. It was a 6-mile (10 km) branch of the former South Gippsland railway (also known as Great Southern Railway) and connected with the main line near Korumburra railway station. The line was primarily built to allow the exploitation of black coal deposits in the Outtrim area.
