The Miki Line (三木線 Miki-sen?) was a Japanese railway line in Hyōgo Prefecture, between Yakujin Station in Kakogawa and Miki Station in Miki. This was the only railway line Miki Railway Company (三木鉄道株式会社 Miki Tetsudō?) operated. The line linked Miki and the West Japan Railway Company Kakogawa Line at Yakujin station.
The Banshū Railway (播州鉄道 Banshū Tetsudō?) opened the line from 1916 to 1917. The railway was acquired by the Bantan Railway (播丹鉄道 Bantan Tetsudō?) in 1923 and nationalised in 1943 together with other Bantan Railway lines, i.e. the Kakogawa Line, the Takasago Line, the Kajiya Line and the Hōjō Line.
