The Biessenhofen–Füssen railway is a single-track and non-electrified branch line in the German state of Bavaria and it is a branch line connecting Füssen with the village of Biessenhofen on the Buchloe–Lindau railway. The Biessenhofen–Marktoberdorf section was opened in 1876 by the Royal Bavarian State Railways. On 1 June 1889, the extension to Füssen was opened, but it was built and operated by the private Lokalbahn AG (LAG). After its bankruptcy, the Marktoberdorf–Füssen section was nationalised on 1 August 1938. Until the end of 2018, the track was operated by Deutsche Bahn and also known by the name König-Ludwig-Bahn ("King Ludwig Railway"). Since then, it has been operated by the private operator Bayerische Regiobahn.
