The Franconian Museum Railway (German: Fränkische Museums Eisenbahn) is an association whose purpose is to preserve and promote interest in historic railway vehicles.

The association was established in 1985 in Nuremberg. In this industrial city it aims to preserve the memory of the steam locomotive era.

Until then there was no such institution except the Nuremberg Transport Museum. The intention was that the association would not only preserver and document steam rail memorabilia, but also maintain historically authentic stock and operate special rail journeys to capture the "atmosphere" of steam rail travel. Since 1996 it has been accredited as a railway vehicle restorer.
