The Rheinhausen–Kleve railway, also known in German as the Niederrheinstrecke (Lower Rhine Railway), is a formerly continuous railway on the Lower Rhine in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The line between Rheinhausen and Rheinkamp is duplicated and classified as a mainline railway and then continues to Xanten as a single-track branch line. The final section to Kleve has been out of use since 1990. The line to Millingen has overhead electrification.
