Rail Projects Victoria (RPV) was a project team of the Government of Victoria, Australia, responsible for the management of certain major infrastructure projects on the Victorian rail network, such as Metro Tunnel, Regional Rail Revival and Melbourne Airport Rail. Originally established as the Melbourne Metro Rail Authority (MMRA), to deliver the Melbourne Metro Rail Project, the office was later expanded in its responsibilities to include the management and planning of a number of major infrastructure programs on V/Line's regional rail services. In January 2019, it was renamed to RPV to reflect its expanded scope. It also ceased to be an independent office and became a project team within the Department of Transport and Planning's Major Transport Infrastructure Authority (MITA).
On 2 April 2024, the Regional Rail Revival and Melbourne Airport Rail projects were transferred to the Level Crossing Removal Project team, and RPV was replaced by Metro Tunnel Project. The Metro Tunnel Project continued to be a project team within the new Victorian Infrastructure Delivery Authority, which had replaced MITA on the same day.
