The Ranaghat-Krishnagar Light Railway was a privately owned 2ft 6in/762mm narrow gauge(NG) line, constructed and initially worked by Martin's Light Railways Company.

The line opened in 1899 connecting Aistalaghat to Krishnagar, a distance of 27 miles(43km).

In 1904 the line was taken over by the state and the railway became part of the NG network of Eastern Bengal Railway(EBR)
