The Belgrave railway line is a broad gauge electric suburban railway in Melbourne, Australia. It branches from the Lilydale line at Ringwood station. It has eight stations, all of which are in Metcard ticketing Zone 3.
The line is double track to Ferntree Gully, then single track to Belgrave, with passing loops and island platforms at Upper Ferntree Gully, Upwey, and Belgrave.
The section of track between Upper Ferntree Gully and Belgrave stations was formerly part of a narrow gauge line to Gembrook. The line was electrified and converted to broad gauge between Upper Ferntree Gully and Belgrave. Between Belgrave and Gembrook the Puffing Billy Railway operates a tourist railway on the restored narrow gauge track.
