The Cork, Blackrock and Passage Railway (CB&PR) was a 3 ft narrow gauge railway in County Cork, Ireland. The line originally opened in 1850 as a 5 ft 3 in Irish standard gauge railway between Cork and Passage West and operated steam feeder ferries to other locations round Cork Harbour.

The railway closed in 1932 and has since been replaced by a public pathway and nature area.
