The Lancefield railway line, or the Clarkefield and Lancefield Railway, was a former broad gauge railway in central Victoria, connecting Clarkefield railway station on the Bendigo line to Kilmore railway station on the Heathcote line, via Lancefield. However, the ill-fated Lancefield-Kilmore section operated only briefly in the 1890s so, for much of its history, the line existed simply as a branch line, with its terminus at Lancefield station.
