The Palatine Maximilian Railway Company (Pfälzische Maximiliansbahn-Gesellschaft) was a German railway enterprise that acted as the railway operator when the Palatine Maximilian Railway was built.

It managed and ran operations jointly from the outset with the Palatine Ludwig Railway Company. On 1 January 1870 both companies were placed under the combined management of the United Palatine Railways (Vereinigten Pfälzischen Eisenbahnen).

Legally the Palatine Maximilian Railway Company remained in existence. Over the next few years it opened the following new routes:

  • Winden – (Bad) Bergzabern, Kurbadlinie, 10 km, on 10 April 1870
  • Landau – Germersheim, Untere Queichtalbahn, 21 km, on 16 May 1872
  • Germersheim – Wœrth – Berg – Lauterbourg, 40 km, on 25 July 1876
  • Rohrbach-Steinweiler–Klingenmünster, Klingbachtalbahn, 10 km, on 1 December 1892
  • Landau Hauptbahnhof–Herxheim, 11 km, on 1 December 1898

    • On 1 January 1909 the organisation was transferred, together with the other two Palatine railway companies, into the Royal Bavarian State Railways.
