The North West Railway company (German: NordWestBahn GmbH, abbreviated to NWB) is a private railway company providing regional train services on several routes in northern and western Germany. It is a joint venture of Stadtwerke Osnabrück AG, Verkehr und Wasser GmbH in Oldenburg and Transdev Germany, Berlin. The head office of the company is in Osnabrück. NWB claims to be Germany's largest regional railway company.

Since 5 November 2000, NordWestBahn has operated, on behalf of the public transport company of Lower Saxony (Landesnahverkehrsgesellschaft Niedersachsen, abbreviated to LNVG), the Weser-Ems-Network in Lower Saxony. The company promptly pursued various other regional railway opportunities within the German market. During March 2008, NordWestBahn was selected to run the regional S-Bahn Bremen/Lower Saxony, having submitted a superior bid to the German national railway operator DB Regio; operation of these routes started in December 2010. Following a competitive tendering process in early 2019, the company retained operations in Bremen and Lower Saxony.^[1] On 6 November 2018, NordWestBahn was awarded the contract to operate the S-Bahn regional trains around Hanover.^[2]
