The Lecco–Milan railway is a railway line in Lombardy, Italy.

The railway line was opened on 27 December 1873 between Monza and Calolziocorte,[2] using the existing branches from Lecco to Calolziocorte (opened in 1863) and from Monza to Milan (opened in 1840).

After the Monza-Calolziocorte, another railway connecting Monza and Lecco was built (1911, Monza-Molteno-Lecco railway), then today the first line is usually called "Milano-Lecco through Carnate", and the second "Milano-Lecco through Molteno".
