The Mildura railway line is a railway line in Victoria, Australia. It runs from Ballarat in an approximate north-norwesterly direction to Mildura. Initial sections of the line opened from Ballarat in 1874 and the line reached Mildura in 1903. It has nine main stations. Passenger services ceased on the line in 1993, but freight services continued to be operated on the line by Pacific National. An announcement was made in 2006 for passenger services to be re-introduced to Mildura after a 13-year absence, under the Linking Victoria program. Passenger services were reintroduced from Ballarat to Maryborough in July 2010.

The Mildura line was opened from Ballarat to Creswick, Clunes, Maryborough and Dunolly in 1874 and 1875, and extended to St Arnaud in 1878, Donald in 1882, Birchip in 1893, Woomelang in 1899, Ouyen, Red Cliffs and Mildura in 1903, Merbein in 1910 and Yelta in 1925.
