The Varde–Nørre Nebel railway line (Danish: Varde-Nørre Nebel Jernbane), also called the West Line (Danish: Vestbanen) and the Nebel Line (Danish: Nebelbanen), colloquially referred to as Nebelgrisen (literally meaning the Nebel pig), is a 37.6 kilometres (23.4 mi) long local railway line in West Jutland, Denmark. It was opened for traffic in 1903. It has standard gauge and is not electrified.

Varde Vest station was originally the terminus for the trains, but today almost all the trains connect with the Esbjerg–Varde railway line and continue to stations like Esbjerg, Ribe, Tønder and Niebüll.
