The Queen Anne's and Kent Railroad (QA&KR) (Sometimes the Queen Anne's and Kent County Railroad) was a railroad company that operated in the US states of Delaware and Maryland from 1870 to 1899. It connected to the previously existing Delaware Railroad (DRC) at its branch from Townsend, Delaware to Massey's Crossroads in Kent County, Maryland and ran through Queen Anne's County, Maryland to Centreville, Maryland. At Massey's Crossroad, later Massey's Station, it also connected to the Kent County Railroad. On January 23, 1899, the QA&KR was merged into the DRC under agreement of December 31, 1898.
