Springfield railway line is a 13.6 km (8.5 mi)suburban railway line in Brisbane, Australia which branches from the Ipswich line after Darra railway station. Construction of the line started on 5 July 2010 and it opened on 2 December 2013. The line was developed along with the widening of the nearby Centenary Highway.

Construction of the first stage of the line, to Richlands, started on 5 July 2010, with the first sleeper being laid at Darra on the Ipswich line. The line was developed along with the widening of the nearby Centenary Highway from two to four lanes from Darra through to the Logan Motorway.

Construction of the first station on the line, Richlands, started on 1 July 2008 (2008-07-01) and the line was due to commence service on 23 January 2011 (2011-01-23), with no service from Darra to the City due to scheduled maintenance works on the Ipswich line.

Due to the Queensland floods the opening was brought forward to 17 January 2011 (2011-01-17) in order to assist travelers from further west who could not utilise the Ipswich line which was out of service due to flooding.

On 23 October 2011 (2011-10-23) work started on the second stage of the line to Springfield. It was also announced that the station originally proposed as Springfield Lakes station was to be named Springfield, and the station proposed as Springfield station was to be named Springfield Central.
