The Camden and Atlantic Railroad was a railway company in the United States. It opened the first railway line to Atlantic City, New Jersey, and played an important role in the development of that city. The company was incorporated in 1852 and completed its original line in 1854. It came under Pennsylvania Railroad control in 1883 and was consolidated with several companies to form the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad in 1896. NJ Transit's Atlantic City Line continues to use the company's former line for service between Philadelphia and Atlantic City.
