The Allegheny Valley Railroad was a railway company in the United States. It was incorporated in 1852 and constructed its original line between Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Kittanning, Pennsylvania, between 1853 and 1856. It eventually owned 259.4 route miles (417.5 km), including its main line between Pittsburgh and Oil City, Pennsylvania. The company entered receivership in 1884 and was reorganized as the Allegheny Valley Railway in 1892. That company was leased by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1900 and merged in 1910.
