The Mirboo North railway line was a country branch line, in Victoria, Australia. The Mirboo North line branched from the main Gippsland line at Morwell station, and opened in 3 stages from 1885 to 1886.
It remained in continuous service until the entire line was closed in 1974. It has since been partially converted into the Grand Ridge Rail Trail. [cite web
