The Rockland Branch is a railway line in the United States. It runs 57 miles (92 km) from Brunswick, Maine to Rockland, Maine. It was built in stages between 1849 and 1871 by predecessors of the Maine Central Railroad. Today, the state of Maine owns the branch. The current operator is the Cumberland and Knox Railroad, which began operation in 2025.
