The Tarnów–Szczucin railway (commonly known as Szczucinka) is a single-track, non-electrified local railway in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship, connecting Tarnów with Szczucin. The railway route, whose infrastructure is utilized by railway line no. 115, was opened in 1906, with the first passenger train running that year. Passenger service was suspended on 3 April 2000, and since then, there has been sporadic freight traffic on the passable section.
As of 2021, the railway remained operational on the 16-kilometer stretch from Tarnów to Żabno.
