The Hagdale Chromate Railway was a 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge railway on the Isle of Unst, in the Shetland Islands. Built in 1907, it connected the chromite quarries at Hagdale with a pier at Baltasound. There were a few narrow gauge railways on the Shetland Islands. They are unknown by most and none were preserved.
