EuskoTren (Eusko Trenbideak / Ferrocarriles Vascos – Basque Railways) is a railway company which operates trains on part of the narrow gauge railway network in the Basque Country, Spain. The other part is run by FEVE. EuskoTren is owned by the Basque Government. The company's operations are centered on San Sebastián and Bilbao. In 1995 a section of the railway and its personnel were transferred to Line One of Metro Bilbao.

EuskoTran (a name derived from EuskoTren and tranbia / tranvía, the Basque and Spanish words for tram), with a similar but green logo, runs tram services – currently only in Bilbao, where the system has recently been restored.

EuskoTren also operates a number of bus links to parts of the region not directly served by rail.
