Rail transport in Tajikistan is limited, as the railroad system totals only {{convert|680|km|mi}} of non-electrified, single-track railway,{{cite web|url = https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/tajikistan/ | title = CIA World Factbook – Tajikistan | date = 28 April 2010 | access-date = 21 May 2010}} all of it {{RailGauge|1520mm}} broad gauge. The system connects the main urban centres of western Tajikistan with points in neighboring Uzbekistan. In 1999 a new line connected the southern cities of Bokhtar and Kulob. In 2016, another line connected both cities to the capital Dushanbe, thus linking southern and central railway networks together.{{cite web|url = http://president.tj/en/node/12789 | title = Inauguration of Dushanbe-Qurghonteppa-Kulob railroad | date = 24 August 2016}} The northern branch around Khujand remains physically disconnected from this main Tajik railway network, accessible only through a lengthy transit via Uzbekistan. As of 2017, the passenger service remains limited to infrequent international trains from Dushanbe and Khujand to Moscow, one weekly train from Dushanbe to Khujand (via Uzbekistan) as well as a local service between Dushanbe and Pakhtaabad (daily) and Kulyob/Shahrtuz (twice weekly).

The railway system in Tajikistan is managed by the state company Tajik Railway (or Rochi Ohani Tochikiston, https://www.railway.tj).
