The Murtalbahn is a narrow gauge railway in central Austria. The line connects Unzmarkt, with Murau, Tamsweg - and formerly Mautendorf. Operated by the local authorities' transport department, Steiermarkische Landesbahnen, the line is not wholly in Steiermark (Styria), but crosses the cantonal border into Karnten (Carinthia) beyond Ramingstein, 11km from the terminus at Tamsweg.

The Murtalbahn does not have signals, except at the Unzmarkt end, where it crosses a siding of the standard-gaudge ÖBB, but trains are controlled by radio, using a system trialled on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway in Cumbria.
