The Mumbai–Ahmedabad High Speed Rail Corridor (Mumbai–Ahmedabad HSR) is an under-construction high-speed rail line, which will connect Mumbai, Maharashtra, the financial hub of India, with Ahmedabad, the largest city in the state of Gujarat. When completed, it will be India's first high-speed rail line, with a design speed of 350 km/h (215 mph), and the project will include a 353 km-long (219 mi) viaduct, which will be the longest bridge in the world.

The line is being developed by the National High Speed Rail Corporation (NHSRC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Indian Railways, the Ministry of Railways, and the Government of India. The line will use Shinkansen technology from Japan, including rolling stock, signalling and design standards – with technology transfer to support the Make in India programme.

After delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, construction commenced in February 2021, when the NHSRC began to pour concrete to cast the corridor's first pillar. As of 2025, an initial section between Surat and Bilimora in Gujarat, is planned to open for service on 15 August 2027, with the full line to open by December 2029.
