Meråkerbanen is a railway line which runs from Trondheim through the municipality of Meråker to Storlien in Sweden. The line is 106 km long and opened in 1881. The line is now operated by Nabotåget which runs trains all the way to Östersund. As of 2005, the company uses BM92 diesel multiple units.
Technically, Meråkerbanen has one branch line, the much longer Nordlandsbanen which leaves Meråkerbanen at Hell.
