The Breitengüßbach–Dietersdorf railway was a single-tracked branch line in the province of Upper Franconia in Bavaria, southern Germany. It branched off from the main line from Bamberg to Hof, northeast of Breitengüßbach station, only a few hundred yards after the branch line to Ebern–Maroldsweisach, and headed north into the lower reaches of the Itz valley. The line was taken into service on 1 October 1913.
