The Udine–Trieste railway is an Italian state railway line that connects Udine and Trieste running through the central and eastern part of Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

The whole line is double track and electrified at 3000 Volts DC. The only station that serves as an interchange with other lines is Monfalcone, which is near the junction with the Venice–Trieste railway: the Monfalcone–Trieste section is shared with this line.

The railway infrastructure is managed by the Rete Ferroviaria Italiana, which classifies it as one of its primary lines, while both regional and long-distance passenger traffic is managed by Trenitalia. The railway is used by the freight trains of various railway companies.
