Gulfoss Tunnel is a 701-meter railway tunnel situated at in the municipality of Melhus in Trøndelag county, Norway. The tunnel runs beneath the village of Hovin, alongside the river Gaula past the Gulfossen waterfall. The tunnel carries a single, electrified track of the Dovrebanen railway line. The Trondhjem–Støren Line, which opened in 1864, crossed the river Gaula on a bridge to the opposite side of the river at the current site of the tunnel. This section of track was a challenge due to regular flooding. With the 1908 decision to build the Dovrebanen Line and gauge conversion, the Gulfossen section became one of two parts of the line to be reworked. Gulfoss Tunnel opened on 6 July 1918.
The Gulfoss Tunnel has a length of 701 meters and carries a single track of electrified, standard gauge railway. Situated on the Dovre Line, the southern end is situated 508.97 kilometers from Oslo Central Station. Immediately to the north is a 72-meter bridge which crosses Gaula.
