The Basque Railway Museum (Basque: Burdinbidearen Euskal Museoa, Spanish: Museo Vasco del Ferrocarril) is located in Azpeitia, Basque Country, Spain.[1] It has a collection of steam locomotives and other rolling stock as well as other items, most of them related to the Basque narrow gauge railway network.[2] The museum is located in the former railway station in Azpeitia.[3]

The museum operates a heritage railway between Azpeitia and Lasao, on the former Urola railway line. The 4.5 km (2.8 mi) line is isolated from the Euskotren network.[4]
