The '''Khulna–Bagirhaut Railway''' was a 2ft 6in/762mm narrow gauge([[Rail_gauge#Narrow_Gauge|NG]]) railway operating between [[Khulna]] and [[Bagirhaut]] (now called Bagerhat, in Bangladesh).
The 20 miles(32km) line , owned by a private company, was under construction in 1916 by the [[Eastern Bengal Railway]](EBR),<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/BombayBarodaAndCentralIndiaRailwaySystem/Bombay_Baroda_And_Central_India_Railway_System#page/n60/mode/2up 1up " Administration Report on the Railways in India – corrected up to 31st March 1918"; Superintendent of Government Printing, Calcutta; page 52]; Retrieved 25 Jan 201627 Dec 2017</ref> and was opened for traffic in 1918.
In 1916-17 the NG rolling stock had been transferred to the Khulna–Bagerhat Railway as a result of the conversion of the [[Teesta-Kurigram Railway]] from NG to [[Rail_gauge_#Metre_Gauge|MG]].
