The Murray Bridge tunnel is a heritage-listed railway tunnel located in Murray Bridge, South Australia. The 80-metre-long (260 ft) tunnel houses a single train line as it runs under Bridge Street in Murray Bridge and links the Murray Bridge railway station with the Murray Bridge Railway Bridge over the River Murray.[2]

The tunnel was constructed by the cut and cover method when the railway line was diverted from the original mixed road and rail bridge to a new rail-only bridge over the Murray River.[3] The tunnel carries the railway under the main road to the bridge.[1]
