Railton was a marque of British automobiles made by Fairmile Engineering Company in Cobham, Surrey, between 1933 and 1940. The cars were the first combination of English coachwork with a U.S.-made engine and running gear.[1]

There was an attempt to revive it by a new company between 1989 and 1994 in Alcester, Warwickshire.
