REFER, Rede Ferroviária Nacional, EP (i.e. National Railway Network) was the Portuguese rail infrastructure manager. It was a state-owned company and was created to manage the Portuguese rail infrastructure, previously under control of CP, which became exclusively a train service operator.

It was incorporated on 29 April 1997 by government decree no. 104/97 and was 100% owned by the Portuguese state.

As per a decree-law dated 29 May 2015 and taking effect as of 1 June 2015, Portugal's rail infrastructure manager REFER, EP has merged with Estradas de Portugal S.S., the Portuguese road manager, creating a new company called ‘Infraestruturas de Portugal, S.A.’

All duties and responsibilities of Estradas de Portugal and REFER, EP, have therefore been transferred to Infraestruturas de Portugal.
