The Pilmoor, Boroughbridge and Knaresborough Railway was a railway line in North Yorkshire, England, that connected Pilmoor on the East Coast Main Line with the towns of Boroughbridge and Knaresborough. The first part of the branch headed south-westwards from the East Coast Main Line and terminated at Boroughbridge. In 1875, the branch was extended again to meet the line at Knaresborough.
