The Gulf Coast Limited was a passenger train service operated by Amtrak along the Gulf Coast of the United States. It ran daily between New Orleans, Louisiana, and Mobile, Alabama, with stops in Bay St. Louis, Gulfport, Biloxi, and Pascagoula, Mississippi. The route first operated in 1984–1985, and again in 1996–1997.

Amtrak plans to resume service over the former route of the Gulf Coast Limited in 2024, with two daily round trips. The restored route has been referred to as the Gulf Coast and Mardi Gras Service during planning, with a final name yet to be confirmed.
