The Wabush Lake Railway reporting mark|WABL, WLR is a Canadian short line railway operating in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Opened in 1963, the railway operates a line running between Labrador City, Labrador and Wabush, where it interchanges with the Quebec North Shore and Labrador Railway.

The Wabush Lake Railway is owned by the Wabush Mining Company, which mines iron ore near Labrador City. The ore is transported from the mine to the Quebec North Shore and Labrador Railway connection at Wabush. The Quebec North Shore and Labrador Railway transports the ore between Wabush and Arnaud Jct., QC. At Arnaud Junction, the ore is transferred to Wabush Lake Railway's sister company, Chemin de fer Arnaud (Arnaud Railway), for the final journey to ship loading facilities at nearby Point Noire, QC.

Currently, this railway (along with the Tshiuetin Rail Transportation line, Arnaud Railway, and QNSL) form an isolated railroad network, as it does not interchange with any other rail lines on the North American network at this time.
