The Sinfin Branch Line is a short branch line in the Sinfin area of Derby, Derbyshire. The line, which serves the premises of Rolls-Royce and other works sites, uses a stretch of the former Melbourne line. On 4 October 1976, the British Railways Board reopened this section to passengers services in conjunction with Derby City Council to promote a city-wide transport plan.

However, passengers services ceased in 1988, in part, due to poor timetabling and the low number of daily trains. In 1997 the line was officially closed again. However, the branch line was not lifted as it has been used by Rolls Royce for freight.
