The Marseille–Ventimiglia railway (French: Ligne de Marseille-Saint-Charles à Vintimille; Italian: Ferrovia Marsiglia-Ventimiglia) is a French-Monégasque-Italian 259-kilometre-long (161 mi) railway line. It was constructed and opened in several stages between 1858 and 1872.
The line serves as an important transport corridor, connecting the French and Italian Rivieras, and accommodates both passenger (express, regional, and suburban) and freight traffic. It has played a significant role in the region's economic development by facilitating trade and tourism between France and Italy, serving as the primary railway line for the French Riviera (Côte d'Azur). The line was also strategically important during World War II for transporting troops and supplies to the Italian front.
