The Schöftland–Aarau–Menziken railway line is a metre gauge railway line in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland. It provides a through service, in the form of an inverted 'V', from Schöftland to Menziken via Aarau. The two parts of the V were built separately, with the Aarau–Menziken railway line running through the Wynental, and the Aarau–Schöftland railway line running through the Suhrental.

The line is owned and operated by the Aargau Verkehr company, which also operates the Bremgarten–Dietikon railway line and a number of bus services. Until 2012, there used to be a limited freight service in the Wynental, mainly to the metal works of Alu Menziken, but today the line's sole usage is for passenger services, which are operated as Aargau S-Bahn route S14.
