The Akron, Canton and Youngstown Railroad was a Class I railroad company founded in 1907 that opened its mainline between Mogadore and Akron, Ohio in 1912. Later reclassified as a short-line railroad, the company was bought by the Norfolk and Western Railway in 1964 and merged into it in 1982; despite its name, it never actually served Canton or Youngstown.
