The Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Staatsspoorwegen, or SS, was a private railroad founded in 1863 and headquartered in Utrecht, Netherlands, to operate the country's government-funded railways. Along with the Hollandsche IJzeren Spoorweg-Maatschappij, it was one of the two largest railroad companies in the Netherlands, until the two companies formally merged in 1938 to form the Nederlandse Spoorwegen.

In 1890 the SS began to use the lines previously run by the defunct Nederlandsche Rhijnspoorweg-Maatschappij, and in 1919 it also began to use lines run by the Nederlandsche Centraal-Spoorweg-Maatschappij. The company was formally merged with the HSM to form the Nederlandse Spoorwegen in 1938, although independent operations had stopped earlier.
