The Rorschach–St. Gallen railway line is a standard gauge railway line in the Swiss canton of St. Gallen and belongs to the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB).

The 15 kilometre-long line was opened on 25 October 1856 by the St. Gallisch-Appenzellische Eisenbahn (SAGE) and follows its original course, except for the tunnel between St. Gallen and St. Gallen St. Fiden and a little curve straightening. The line ran from Rorschach Hafen station to St. Gallen, with trains having to reverse in Rorschach.
