Bannu–Tank Branch Line (Urdu: بنوں–ٹانک فرعی ریلوے خط) was one of several branch lines in Pakistan, operated and maintained by Pakistan Railways. The line began at Bannu and ended at Tank Junction. The total length of this railway line was 122 kilometers (76 mi) with 7 railway stations. It was known by locals as "choti rail", since it was the only 762 mm (2 ft 6 in) narrow gauge railway in the country (excepting the stretch from Kohat Tehsil to Thal pre-1991) The line was dismantled in 1995.
