The Chemins de fer fribourgeois Gruyère–Fribourg–Morat (GFM) was a railway company in Switzerland. It was established with the merger in 1942 of two standard gauge and one 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) gauge railways running mainly within the Swiss canton of Fribourg. It was officially called the Compagnie des Chemins de fer fribourgeois ("Fribourg Railway Company"). The company also operated numerous regional buses in the same area. After a merger with Fribourg city transport, the company was renamed Transports publics fribourgeois/Freiburgische Verkehrsbetriebe (TPF).

The company was created on 1 January 1942 from the merger of metre-gauge Chemins de fer électriques de la Gruyère ("Electric Railways of the Gruyère"; CEG), the standard-gauge Fribourg-Ins Railway (Chemin de fer Fribourg–Morat–Anet; FMA) and the also standard gauge Bulle-Romont Railway (Bulle-Romont-Bahn; BR). On 1 January 2000, the GFM merged with the Transport en commun de Fribourg (Friborg Community Transport; TF) to form Transports Publics Fribourgeois (TPF).
