The Lamme Valley Railway (German: Lammetalbahn) is a branch line, that branches off the Hildesheim–Goslar railway in Groß Düngen and continues today via Bad Salzdetfurth to Bodenburg. From there it used to continue via Lamspringe to Bad Gandersheim on the Brunswick–Kreiensen railway.

The surviving section of the railway, which lies wholly within the borough of Bad Salzdetfurth, serves today mainly as a tourist and commuter line. In this area the railway follows the river Lamme, which gave rise to the name of the line.
