The Kincardine Line is a railway in Clackmannanshire and Fife, Scotland. The line, which was opened in two stages by the North British Railway, was built to serve settlements between Alloa and Dunfermline along the north shore of the Firth of Forth. It was a never profitable railway; passenger services were withdrawn in 1930, goods in 1962.

In 1952, work began on the construction Kincardine power station this led to the reopening of the eastern end of the line. This was followed by Longannet power station in 1962. Fuel for both coal-fired power stations was brought in using the Kincardine Line. In 2016, Longannet was decommissioned bringing heavy mineral traffic to an end. A review has now been undertaken to consider re-opening the line to passenger services on the route.
