The Okaihau Branch, sometimes called the Kaikohe Branch and rarely the Rangiahua Branch, was a branch line that connected to the North Auckland Line of New Zealand's national railway network at Otiria. It was New Zealand's northernmost line and was intended to run as far as Kaitaia. It opened to Ōkaihau in 1923 and closed in 1987.
After the line closed, the New Zealand Railways Corporation retained ownership of the trackage in the hope that forestry plans would be implemented. The corridor is still owned by the Railways Corporation.
