The Ordsall Chord (also known as the Ordsall Lane Chord Ordsall Curve or Castlefield Curve) is a proposed short railway line in the Ordsall area of Greater Manchester. It will link Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria and it is expected to increase capacity in the region and reduce journey times into and through Manchester. The chord was first proposed in the late 1970s. Parliamentary powers for its construction were received in 1979 but the project was cancelled.
