The Vallvidrera Funicular (Catalan and Spanish: Funicular de Vallvidrera) is a {{convert|736.6|m|ft|adj=mid|-long}} funicular railway in the Barcelona district of Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, in Catalonia, Spain. It connects Peu del Funicular station on the Barcelona–Vallès Line with the residential neighborhood of Vallvidrera, in the Collserola mountain range.

Opened on {{Start date|1906|10|24|df=yes}}, the funicular has played a key role in the development of Vallvidrera and is the main public transport access to this neighborhood. Although initially privately owned by Ferrocarril de Sarriá a Barcelona (FSB), it was transferred to the Catalan government together with the Barcelona–Vallès Line after FSB's economic collapse. Thus, since {{Start date|1979|10|07|df=yes}}, the funicular has been operated by Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC). In 1998, it was entirely rebuilt and upgraded to an automated guideway transit (AGT) system, including the introduction of new rolling stock.

The funicular is integrated as part of the Vallès Metro high-frequency commuter rail scheme.{{cite web |last=Borràs |first=Bernat |title=Funicular de Vallvidrera |trans-title=Vallvidrera Funicular |language=ca |url=http://www.trenscat.com/metrovalles/funivallvidrera_ct.html |website=trenscat.cat |access-date=30 June 2015}} It runs at a basic interval of 6 minutes on weekdays, less frequently on weekends and public holidays,{{cite web |title=Schedule for the Vallvidrera Funicular |url=http://www.fgc.cat/downloads/busos/pdf/Horari%20interior%20Funi_14tz.pdf |format=PDF |publisher=Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya |access-date=4 July 2015 |archive-date=5 May 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150505213757/http://fgc.cat/downloads/busos/pdf/Horari%20interior%20Funi_14tz.pdf |url-status=dead }} with a journey time of 2 minutes and 50 seconds (without considering any intermediate stops). Besides, it is entirely within fare zone 1 of the Autoritat del Transport Metropolità (ATM) fare-integrated public transport system for the Barcelona metropolitan area.{{cite map |publisher=Autoritat del Transport Metropolità |title=Integrated Railway Network |url=http://www.atm.cat/web/pdf/ca/xarxa_ferrov_global.pdf |format=PDF |date=August 2013 |access-date=26 June 2014 |archive-date=19 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140619000221/http://www.atm.cat/web/pdf/ca/xarxa_ferrov_global.pdf |url-status=dead }}
