The Nishikigawa Seiryū Line (錦川清流線, Nishikigawa Seiryū-sen^?, "Nishiki River Limpid Stream Line") is a Japanese railway line between Kawanishi and Nishikichō stations, all within Iwakuni, Yamaguchi. As the name suggests, the line runs along the Nishiki River (Nishiki-gawa). This is the only railway line Nishikigawa Railway (錦川鉄道, Nishikigawa Tetsudō^?) operates.
