The Radviliškis–Daugavpils Railway (Lithuanian: Radviliškio–Daugpilio geležinkelis; Latvian: Radvilišķu–Daugavpils dzelzceļa līnija) is a cross-border railway line in Lithuania and Latvia. It connects the city of Radviliškis in north-central Lithuania with the city of Daugavpils in south-eastern Latvia. It is one of the main local railways in Lithuania with connection to neighbouring Latvia.
The 1,520 mm (4 ft 11+27⁄32 in) gauge railway line is unelectrified and single-track throughout its length from Linkaičiai to Daugavpils, as the double-track between Rokiškis and Obeliai was dismantled in 2002.
The railway was opened in 1873 as a branch line of the Libau–Romny Railway system which connected Ukraine with the Baltic Seaport of Liepāja (formerly: Libau).
