Maine Eastern Railroad (reporting mark MERR) is a railroad that operates in coastal Maine between Brunswick and Rockland on the state-owned Rockland Branch rail line. Maine Eastern connects with Pan Am Railways at Brunswick.

The company provides freight service year-round, and passenger service seasonally between Brunswick and Rockland with former New Haven/Amtrak EMD FL-9 locomotives and stainless steel streamlined passenger cars.

Maine Eastern is the successor to Safe Handling Rail, which took over operation of the MaineDOT-owned line when the Maine Coast Railroad chose not to bid on a new contract.

Maine Eastern is a subsidiary of the Morristown and Erie Railway of New Jersey. Commodities moved in freight service include cement, plate steel, and perlite.
