The Catterick Military Railway was a railway line in North Yorkshire, England, that connected Catterick Camp (now Catterick Garrison), with the Eryholme–Richmond line at Catterick Bridge railway station. The line was built in 1915 as a light railway to bring materials in for the building of Catterick Camp, but later became the supply route in and out of Catterick Garrison. It also had a semi-regular passenger service for military personnel, but this ceased in 1964. The line was closed and removed in 1970.
