The '''Cambrian Line''' ({{langx|cy|Llinell y Cambrian}}), sometimes split into the '''Cambrian Main Line''' ({{langx|cy|Prif Linell y Cambrian}}) and '''Cambrian Coast Line''' ({{langx|cy|Llinell Arfordir y Cambrian}}) for its branches, is a railway line that runs from [[Shrewsbury]] in England, westwards to [[Aberystwyth]] and [[Pwllheli]] in Wales. Passenger train services are operated by [[Transport for Wales Rail|Transport for Wales]] between the western terminals of [[Pwllheli railway station|Pwllheli]], in [[Gwynedd]], and [[Aberystwyth railway station|Aberystwyth]], in [[Ceredigion]], and the eastern terminal at [[Shrewsbury railway station|Shrewsbury]], [[Shropshire]], as part of the [[Wales & Borders franchise]].

The railway line is widely regarded as scenic, as it passes through the [[Cambrian Mountains]] in [[central Wales]] and along the coast of [[Cardigan Bay]] in [[Snowdonia National Park]]. The line includes long sections of rural single track and is designated as a [[community rail]] partnership.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.acorp.uk.com/Assets/ACoRP%20summary%20map%20v4.pdf |title=ACORP Summary map |publisher=Association of Community Rail Partnerships |date=28 July 2014|access-date=28 October 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151118174638/http://www.acorp.uk.com/Assets/ACoRP%20summary%20map%20v4.pdf |archive-date=18 November 2015}}</ref>
