The Baltic Railway Company (German: Baltische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft; Russian: Общество балтийской желъзной дороги) was an initially private and later state-owned railway company in the Russian Empire which existed from 1868 to 1907.
The railway company owned and operated a number of railway lines primarily in the Baltic governorates of the Russian Empire. The company's main line connected the Baltic ports of Reval (now Tallinn) and Baltischport (now Paldiski) with the Russian capital Saint Petersburg as well as the Saint Petersburg–Moscow railway. Today, the railway lines of the company are located in Estonia and Latvia, as well as in the Russian oblasts of Leningrad and Pskov.
