The Lemvig Line (Danish: Lemvigbanen or Vemb-Lemvig-Thyborøn Jernbane (VLTJ)) is a local railway line in Northwest Jutland, Denmark. Established in 1879, the line extends from Vemb via Lemvig to Thyborøn. The single-track line is mostly level, and is operated with a fleet of five double-unit Y-train railcars. VLTJ has its own workshop and servicing facilities on the line.
