Prydnipro Railway or Cisdnieper Railway (Ukrainian: Придніпровська залiзниця, romanizedPrydniprovska zaliznytsia (PZ), lit.'Near-Dnipro railway') is a regional operator of Ukrainian Railways in the south of Ukraine with headquarters in Dnipro city.

The PZ consists of three divisions – Dnipro Railway, Zaporizhzhia Railway, Kryvyi Rih Railway. PZ's route map includes all the railroads in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts (provinces), also a large part of Kryvyi Rih metropolitan area and some part in Kharkiv oblast. Access to railroads in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea has been suspended since 2014 due to annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation.

As of 2008, PZ's rail system included 3,275 km (2,035 mi) of track, of which 93.3% was electrified. There are 244 railway stations.
