The Parramatta Light Rail is a 12-kilometre (7 mi) standard gauge light rail line currently under construction in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
The first stage of the line will run from Westmead to Carlingford via the Western Sydney centre of Parramatta. Construction commenced in 2019, with the first stage due to start passenger services in mid-2024. In July 2024, transport minister Jo Haylen announced that services running on the first stage will be running as the L4 Westmead & Carlingford Line.
A second stage is planned for a branch from Camellia or Rydalmere to Sydney Olympic Park. Construction of stage two is expected to commence in 2024.
The line is physically completely separate from the rest of the Sydney light rail network. It is being managed by Transport for NSW.
