The Melchior–Eugen Material Ropeway was a material ropeway in the Wałbrzych coalfield in Lower Silesia, in present-day Poland. It linked the Melchior shaft of the former Melchior mine (later Mieszko) with the Eugen shaft in Waldenburg. The installation is documented in historical photographs, heritage inventories, and contemporary cartographic sources, but no longer survives.
