The Velgast–Prerow railway line is a single-track, non-electrified branch line in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania operated by the Usedomer Bäderbahn. It runs from Velgast via Barth and Zingst to Prerow, with the section from Barth to Prerow on the Darß peninsula also known as the Darßbahn.

The section from Velgast to Barth remains in operation, while tracks still exist between Barth and Bresewitz, though railway operations have been suspended since the 2000s. Between Bresewitz and Prerow, only the route remains, partly used as a railway cycle path north of the Meiningen Bridge.
