The Milang railway line was a railway line on the South Australian Railways network. It opened on 17 December 1914 from a junction with the Victor Harbor line at Sandergrove to Milang. The last passenger service ran 30 November 1968 with the line closed on 17 June 1970.

The route's remnant bushland has been preserved under a native vegetation heritage agreement known as the Nurragi Conservation Reserve. The reserve provides a wildlife corridor between the Mount Lofty Ranges and Lake Alexandrina.
