The Lower Kochertal Railway was a standard-gauge private branch line of the Württemberg Railway Company (WEG) in northern Württemberg, Germany. It ran as a branch line from Bad Friedrichshall to Ohrnberg and followed the lower reaches of the Kocher.
With a length of 22.6 kilometres (14.0 mi), it was the longest route of the WEG. It was opened in two stages: on 15 September 1907, the railway reached Neuenstadt, and on 1 August 1913, it was extended to Ohrnberg. After the cessation of operations on 27 December 1993, the initially planned integration into the Heilbronn Stadtbahn network failed. The route is now passable as a cycle path.
