The '''Bukhtiarpur-Bihar Light Railway''' (BLRBBLR) was a short, narrow gauge branchline which connected the city of [[Bihar]] to the [[East Indian Railway]] at [[Bukhtiarpur]]. The line was later extended from [[Bihar]] to [[Rajgir]].
The BLR BBLR was one of several small narrow gauge concerns owned and worked by [[Martin's Light Railways]](MLR), a management company based in [[Calcutta]].
The line was taken over by the local district board in 1950. In 1962, the track was acquired by [[Indian Railways]], converted to broad gauge and re-opened to traffic.
