The '''Setesdal Line''' ({{langx|no|Setesdalsbanen}}) was a [[railway]] between [[Kristiansand]] and [[Byglandsfjord]] in southern [[Norway]], {{convert|78|km|abbr=on}} long. It was built with a narrow [[Track gauge|gauge]] of {{Track gauge|1067mm|lk=on}}, and opened to [[Hægeland]] 26 November 1895, and to Byglandsfjord 27 November 1896. Stations along the line included [[Mosby, Norway|Mosby]], [[Vennesla]], Grovene ([[Grovane]]), [[Iveland]] and [[Hægeland]].

Today, only the stretch between [[Grovane]] and [[Røyknes]] of the original line is preserved as a [[heritage railway]].
