Aqina (Persian: اقينه) is a remote village in northern Afghanistan, Faryab Province. It is located in the northern part of Andkhoy district, directly adjacent to border with Turkmenistan. The nearest town is Andkhoy.
Aqina is the southern terminus of a railway line via Imamnazar to Atamyrat in Turkmenistan that was opened in late 2016. It is one of only three railways in Afghanistan.
A planned 58 kilometres (36 mi) extension to Andkhoy is in the early phases of construction. The line is eventually planned to form part of railway corridor through northern Afghanistan, even though it is unclear when that will happen.
There is a small dry port with basic facilities in Aqina.
