Bulawayo Railway Museum is a railways museum based in Bulawayo railway station in Zimbabwe, with several exhibits of the history of railways in Zimbabwe and Rhodesia. Its oldest exhibits date back as far as 1897, and include Cecil Rhodes' personal railway coach.

The museum is owned by NRZ. Due to the severe shortage of rolling stock, some steam locomotives in the museum have, in the past, been refurbished and returned to service.

Exhibits include:

  • No. 115 — 9B class built by North British Locomotive Company (21478 of 1917)
  • No. 127 — 11th class built by Montreal Locomotive Works (159119 of 1918)
  • No. 330 — 19th class built by Henschel (27400 of 1952)
  • No. 1200 — DE2 class diesel – built by English Electric in 1955
