The Rangkasbitung-Labuan railway was a single track and 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) gauge railway, branching off the Jakarta Kota-Anyer Kidul railway at Rangkasbitung. The public railway company Staatsspoorwegen built the line as part of the Western railways (Dutch: Westerlijnen) in order to improve connectivity with the western regions on Java.

The 55.8 km long line was in use between 18 June 1906 and 1982. Parts of the infrastructure are still present.

Between 1944 and 1951, a branch line went from Saketi to the south coast near Bayah, Lebak.
