The Elleker to Nornalup railway line was a state government-owned and WAGR-operated railway line in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, connecting Elleker to Nornalup via Denmark. The line was 97 kilometres (60 mi) long and, at Elleker, connected to the Great Southern Railway.^[1]

The railway was constructed during two distinct time periods, as the Albany to Denmark railway line by the Millars Karri and Jarrah Forests Limited, which opened in 1889 and was sold to the Western Australian government in 1907, and the Denmark to Nornalup extension, which opened in 1929. The railway line was closed in 1957.
