Kelowna Pacific Railway (KRP; AAR reporting marks KPR) is a shortline railroad, a former Canadian National Railway line now owned by Knighthawk Rail. The KPR’s line runs from Kelowna, British Columbia to Kamloops, British Columbia through the Okanagan Valley. Operations started on January 30, 2000.

The main use of the railway is wood products, though also chemicals and grain can be seen on the line. The mainline track is 167.7 km (104.2 mi), with an additional 10.3 km (6.4 mi) of associated spurs and sidings. In addition 41.2 km (25.6 mi) of running rights of Canadian Pacific Railway are held by KRP. It connects with CN's Kamloops Yard.[1] In between Vernon and Armstrong/Lumby, the Okanagan Valley Railway (OKAN) shares the line with the KPR.
