Luino–Oleggio railway is a railway line in Lombardy, Italy.

The railway line was opened on 4 December 1882,[2] in order to provide a second access to the Gotthard railway.

The Novara–Laveno segment was closed to passenger traffic from 12 December 2013. A replacement bus now only serves the section between Sesto Calende and Laveno.
