The Farranfore–Valentia Harbour line was a 39.5 miles long single-track broad gauge railway line that operated from 1892 to 1960 along Dingle Bay's southern shore in Ireland. It was the most westerly railway in Europe.
A plan to extend the 1834 Dublin and Kingstown Railway to Valentia Harbour by that railway's engineer, Charles Blacker Vignoles, for the establishment of a transatlantic port, was to prove too ambitious and came to nothing. The Great Southern and Western Railway Company had opened its Killarney to Tralee section in 1859, and in 1871 the independent Killorgan Railway company was formed to construct a line from the GS&WR Farranfore station but in the event was unable to raise the finance.
