The Timboon railway line is a closed railway line, in Victoria, Australia, which branched from the Port Fairy line, near Camperdown, and served the towns of Cobden and Timboon, along with the farming communities of the area. The section of the line between Naroghid and Timboon has been converted into the Camperdown-Timboon Rail Trail.[2]

Much of the line was dismantled during 1987.[3] All signalling and safeworking equipment at Timboon Junction were abolished by September of the same year.[4]
