The Barton and Immingham Light Railway is a railway line in North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire, England. It ran from a junction at Goxhill to Immingham Dock. Another spur runs from Immingham Dock to Ulceby.^[1] It was later absorbed by the Great Central Railway and later, on grouping, it passed to the London and North Eastern Railway. The railway is used for freight traffic to the ports at Immingham. The section from Goxhill to North Killingholme was mothballed and lifted. The track is still in situ but now overgrown and out of use.^[2]

The line was opened in stages: for goods from Immingham West junction to Killingholme on 1 December 1910 and onwards to Goxhill on 1 May 1911, then to passengers the next day,^[3] though a contemporary timetable advertised weekday only serviced of six trains each way starting in May 1911.^[4]
