The Węgliniec–Czerwona Woda railway was a single-track unelectrified light railway line which connected Węgliniec railway station (Węgliniec Dworzec Mały prior to 1945) in Węgliniec and Czerwona Woda railway station in Czerwona Woda in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship of south-western Poland.

After previous proposals (earliest in 1904), the line opened on 22 October 1913. Passenger services were abolished on 27 May 1967, with freight trains using the line until it was dismantled on 17 May 1974.
