Donje Vardište (Serbian: Доње Вардиште) is a village in the municipality of Višegrad, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is on the border between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Donje Vardište was one of the two end stations of the Bosnian Eastern Railway, which had been built from Sarajevo to Uvac and Vardište during the Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Construction of the line started in 1903. It was completed in 1906, using the 760 mm (2 ft 5 1516 in) track gauge. With the cost of 75 million gold crowns, which approximately translates to 450 thousand gold crowns per kilometer, it was one of the most expensive railways in the world built by that time. The line was eventually extended to Belgrade in 1928. Donje Vardište is today part of the narrow-gauge heritage railway Šargan Eight.
