The Harcourt Street Railway Line (Irish: Seanlíne Iarnróid Shráid Fhearchair) was a railway line that ran from Harcourt Street in Dublin through the southern suburbs to Bray. It was one of the Dublin and South Eastern Railway's two northern main lines, the other being the coastal line to Westland Row (which was formerly a branch line until 1902).
