The Wrocław–Szczecin railway is 356-kilometer long, double tracked, electrified railway line in Poland, connecting Wrocław with Zielona Góra, Rzepin, Kostrzyn and Szczecin.
The line is designated by Polish national railway infrastructure manager PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe as rail line number 273 (Polish: linia kolejowa nr 273), and commonly referred to as the Odra River trunk line (magistrala nadodrzańska or nadodrzanka for short) as its course roughly follows the flow of the Odra river.
Since 1991 it is part of the European TEN-T route E 59 from Scandinavia to Vienna, Budapest and Prague.
