Sundsvall-Torpshammars Railway or Sundsvall-Torpshammars Järnväg was a private railway between Torpshammar and Sundsvall in Sweden built in 1874. It was operated by the private company by the same name until 1885 when it was bought by Statens Järnvägar (SJ) and merged with the rest of Norrländska Tvärrbanan, that later changed name to Mittbanan.

The original railway was built in narrow gauge, but it was converted to standard gauge after the government take-over for SEK 3.6 million. The railway also had a branch line, Matfors-Vattjoms Railway that stayed privately owned, but was trafficated by SJ. In 1890 the ownership and operating on the branch line was transferred to Tuna Järnvägs AB.
