DMZ Train (aka Peace Train Hangul: 평화열차) is a South Korean tourist train operated by Korail. The train began operations in 2014 and transports tourists from Seoul to train terminals closest to the Korean Demilitarized Zone.

The first train opened on May 4, 2014, and travels on the Gyeongui Line, in South Korea's northwest, running from Seoul Station to Dorasan Station. The train crosses the Imjingang Railroad Bridge on the Imjin River and arrives in Paju, Gyeonggi, close to the DMZ, and across from the North Korean city of Gaeseong. At the Imjingang Station passengers must debark for an identification check and head count because Dorasan is the only train station located within the civilian-restricted area. Some tourist activities at the final stop are bus and walking tours to the Dorasan Peace Park, the Third Tunnel and the Dora Observatory.

The second route opened on August 1, 2014, on the Gyeongwon Line, and travels northeast from Seoul Station to Baengmagoji Station, in Cheorwon County, Gangwon-do, along the Hantan River. Some off-train tour visits are the White Horse Hill, and Woljeong-ri Station.
