Kuwait Entertainment City (Arabic: مدينة الكويت الترفيهية) is an amusement park located in the western outskirts of Kuwait City, the capital of Kuwait. It first opened on 14 March 1984 and is one of several entertainment properties run by the Kuwait-based Touristic Enterprises Company. Some of the park's attractions, such as its large Bolliger & Mabillard inverted roller coaster and its 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge railway, are common features in large-scale amusement parks in the United States, but are very rare in amusement parks in the Middle East.

Kuwait Entertainment City's narrow gauge railway and original train were built by the US-based company Crown Metal Products in the 1980s with a track gauge of 3 ft (914 mm). The railway continues to operate, but now uses a train built by the UK-based company Severn Lamb. The locomotive is one of their 4-4-0 Lincoln models custom-built to fit on 3 ft (914 mm) gauge track (the Lincoln model is normally built for 2 ft (610 mm) gauge track).
