:''This article is part of the history of rail transport by country series''
The history of rail transport in Mauritius began in the 1860s. The Mauritian rail network was quickly built and it soon provided service to most of the island. It was a key factor in the socio-economic development of Mauritius during its period of operation. However, due to persistent unprofitability from 1948 to 1953, it was finally closed in 1964.
