The Aller Valley Railway (German: Allertalbahn) was a railway line of regional importance in Lower Saxony. It ran along the River Aller and linked Gifhorn with Verden (Aller) via Celle, Schwarmstedt, Rethem (Aller) and Wahnebergen.

The line approached and departed from Celle station in a southerly direction, so that through trains had to reverse their direction there. As a result, the Aller Valley Railway was divided into 2 branches without any through passenger trains, which in turn meant that the eastern section from Gifhorn had route number 1724, and the western section to Wahnebergen had route number 1721. In Celle there were connexions to the East Hanoverian Railways, the Hanover–Hamburg railway, the Celle–Brunswick railway and the Kreuzbahn from Celle to Lehrte.
