The Gaza Railway is a 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge railway operating in southern Mozambique from Xai-Xai (former Villa de João Belo) via Manjacaze junction (53 km) with branches to Chicomo (37 km) and Mauela (50 km).

It was constructed in the early 1900s for the transportation of passengers and cashew nuts.
