The Aberdeen Railway was a Scottish railway company that built a line from Aberdeen to Forfar and Arbroath, partly by leasing and upgrading an existing railway, under parliamentary authorization granted on 31 July 1845. Its line opened in stages between 1847 and 1850, connecting Aberdeen with Forfar, Arbroath, Brechin and Montrose in northeastern Scotland. On 29 July 1856 it amalgamated with the Scottish Midland Junction Railway to form the Scottish North Eastern Railway, which was itself absorbed by the Caledonian Railway on 10 August 1866.
