Lodhran–Raiwind Branch Line (Urdu: لودھراں-رائے ونڈ فرعی ریلوے خط‎) is one of several branch lines in Pakistan, operated and maintained by Pakistan Railways. The line begins from Lodhran Junction station and ends at Raiwind Junction station. The total length of this railway line is 125 kilometers (78 mi). There are 22 railway stations from Lodhran Junction to Raiwind Junction.

The rail line was originally completed as the Kasur–Lodhran Railway in 1909 by the Southern Punjab Railway as part of the Sutlej Valley Railway irrigation project. The line linked Kasur to Lodhran, where it connected to the North Western State Railway mainline to Karachi. However owing to World War 1, financial stringency stagnated developments of the railways. In order to meet the necessities of the military authorities, this rail line (along with the Hyderabad–Badin Railway) was dismantled in 1917 and subsequently rebuilt in 1922.
