Bedburg–Horrem railway (also known in German as the Erftbahn—Erft Railway) is a line in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The non-electrified main line was originally built as a line of the Bergheim District Railway and operated as a metre gauge railway. Later, the line was converted to standard gauge.

The Erft Railway is listed as table 481 of the German railway timetable. It is served only by the Erftbahn Regionalbahn service.
