The Mount Egmont Branch was a short but steep branch railway line in Taranaki New Zealand built to supply rail ballast for the Taranaki and Wanganui districts from a quarry on Mount Egmont. It left the Marton–New Plymouth Line at Waipuku 9 km north of Stratford. Work started in 1906 and the first 9.6 km section was handed over to the NZR by 1 April 1908.
