Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) was the state owned operator of railways in the state of Western Australia between October 1890 and June 2003. Owned by the state government, it was renamed a number of times to reflect extra responsibility for tram and ferry operations that it assumed and later relinquished.

Its freight operations were privatised in December 2000, with all remaining passenger operations transferred to the Public Transport Authority in July 2003.
