The Hangzhou–Ningbo high-speed railway, or Hangyong high-speed railway or Hang–Yong passenger-dedicated railway (Chinese: 杭甬客运专线; pinyin: Háng–Yǒng kèyùn zhuān xiàn) is a High-speed railway between the major cities of Hangzhou and Ningbo in Zhejiang province. It spans approximately 150 km (93 mi), with a design speed of 350 km/h (220 mph).

In the railway's short name, "Háng" stands for Hangzhou, and "Yǒng" (甬) is a traditional short name for Ningbo.

Early on, the railway was scheduled to open in June 2012; later, the end of 2012 became the target date. It was announced in October 2012 that the completion of the project had been postponed again. Test operations began at the start of 2013 and commercial operations began on 30 June 2013. The line runs parallel to the Xiaoshan–Ningbo railway.
