The Fano–Urbino railway (Italian: Ferrovia Fano-Urbino) (also known as Metaurense) is a railway line in Italy of regional interest in Marche. It connects the Marche hinterland (Urbino) with the coast of the Adriatic Sea (Fano).

Since the early 21st century, the Ferrovia Valle Metauro Association has been fighting for the reopening of the line, working with its members to ensure the ordinary maintenance of the infrastructure.
