The Lewiston and Auburn Railroad Company is a railroad holding company located in Androscoggin County, Maine.

It is jointly owned by the cities of Lewiston and Auburn.

It was founded in 1872 to link these two cities with the nearby Grand Trunk Railroad main line running from Portland to Montreal (and on to Chicago) in order to provide a competing transportation service to the Maine Central Railroad which had previously held a monopoly in the area.

The L&A rail line has been operated under contract by the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad since that company purchased the former Canadian National Railway (ex-Grand Trunk Railway) line from Portland to Montreal in 1989.
