The Ecclesbourne Valley Railway is a heritage railway in Derbyshire, with operations based at Wirksworth station. It is currently planned to extend the railway along the former Midland Railway branch line to join the main-line at Duffield.

The line is operated by both steam and diesel locomotives, which haul former Gatwick Express stock donated by Porterbrook Leasing. The line also uses heritage diesel multiple units.
