The Sha Tau Kok Railway (沙頭角鐵路) was a 2 ft (610 mm) gauge narrow gauge railway running from Fanling to Sha Tau Kok in the northern New Territories of Hong Kong. It was built with the narrow gauge tracks of the Kowloon-Canton Railway (now KCR East Rail), when the latter was converted to standard gauge. It ceased operation on April 1, 1928 when the Sha Tau Kok Road, a highway parallel to the railway, came into service.

The locomotive used on the railway was once sold to the Philippines in the early years and was brought back to Hong Kong for display in the Hong Kong Railway Museum. Some of the old rails and a tunnel can still be traced through the dense foliage of the countryside today.
