The South African Railway Police was a specialised law enforcement agency in South Africa, originally established in 1934 to police the country's railways, harbours and later international airports.

Dissolution

On the 1st of October 1986, the South African Railway Police was disbanded. All its functions, personnel, and logistical assets were amalgamated into the South African Police. As a result, the specialised role once performed by the Railway Police was absorbed into the wider law enforcement framework of the country.
