Shenandoah Valley Railroad is a historic name used by 2 railroads in Virginia in the USA.

Shenandoah Valley Railroad (N&W) was a line completed in the 1880s extending down the Shenandoah Valley from Hagerstown, Maryland through the West Virginia panhandle into Virginia to reach Roanoke, Virginia and the Norfolk and Western Railway (N&W) in the late 19th century. After a bankruptcy, it became part of the N&W in 1891, and today, it is a part of the Norfolk Southern system.

Shenandoah Valley Railroad (short-line) (AAR reporting mark SV) is a privately-owned intrastate short-line railroad extending northward from Staunton, Virginia in Augusta County and Rockingham County. The line was originally built by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and later purchased in 1942 by the Chesapeake Western Railway. The new short-line was formed late in the 20th century by several major shippers, and adopted the old historic name which was not in use. It is currently operated under contract by the Eastern Shore Railroad, and interchanges with the Buckingham Branch Railroad and CSX Transportation at Staunton.
