The Donauwörth–Treuchtlingen railway is a double-track, electrified main line in the German state of Bavaria. It branches off the Augsburg–Nördlingen railway in Donauwörth and runs across the Franconian Jura to Treuchtlingen.

The line is part of the core network of the Trans-European Networks. It is also part of the national long-distance connection between Munich, Augsburg and Nuremberg. Even after the opening of the Nuremberg–Ingolstadt high-speed railway, it is still used for long-distance services. It is also used as a detour during closures of the high-speed line for maintenance.
