The Buenos Aires and Rosario Railway (BA&R) was a British-owned railway company that built and operated a 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge railway network in Argentina, where it was known as the "Ferrocarril Buenos Aires y Rosario". Originally thought as a line from Buenos Aires to Campana, it then extended to the provinces of Santa Fe, Santiago del Estero, and Tucumán.
The BA&RR also took over the Santa Fe and Córdoba Railway in 1900. The company operated until 1908, when it was acquired by the Central Argentine Railway which took over its services.
