The Tsugaru Railway Line (津軽鉄道線 Tsugaru Tetsudō-sen?) is a Japanese railway line in Aomori Prefecture, operating between Tsugaru-Goshogawara, in the city of Goshogawara and Tsugaru-Nakasato, in the town of Nakadomari, in central-southern Tsugaru Peninsula. The line is the only railway line operated by the Tsugaru Railway Company. The company and its line is often referred to as the Tsutetsu (津鉄?). The Tsuruga Railway Line should not be confused with the former government Tsugaru Line, now operated by JR East.

The Tsugaru Railway Company was founded in 1928, and the first section of the line was opened on July 15, 1930 from Goshogawara to Kanagi. This was extended to Ōzawanai by October 4, 1930, and to its present terminus of Tsugaru-Nakasato by November 13, 1930. All freight operations were discontinued on February 1, 1984.
