The Târgu Mureș–Deda is a main railway in Romania. It follows the course of the Mureș River in eastern Transylvania, Romania.

The railway was built at the end of the 19th century, on the territory of Hungary, part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After the commissioning of the railway routes from Alba Iulia to Târgu Mureș (1871) and from Sfântu Gheorghe to Adjud in Romania (1897/1899), several railway connections had to be opened in eastern Transylvania. The town of Gheorgheni (in Hungarian Gyergyószentmiklós) was linked in 1907 with the towns of Miercurea Ciuc and Sfântu Gheorghe after the construction of the Siculeni-Gheorgheni railway. Almost simultaneously, a railway was built on the wide valley of Mureș from the west to connect the town of Târgu Mureș with Gheorgheni. The construction of the Târgu Mureș–Deda–Gheorgheni railway was completed in 1909.

At the end of the First World War, Transylvania became a component part of Romania, and the railways in Transylvania were taken over by the Romanian state railway company CFR. Following the Vienna Dictatorship (1940), the territory of Transylvania was divided between Romania and Hungary, and this railway route temporarily passed through Hungarian territory. In 1944 the railway became Romanian again.

The Târgu Mureș–Deda–Gheorgheni railway is single-track and electrified from Deda to Gheorgheni. The above-mentioned section is part of the important railway route between Brașov and Satu Mare. Several high-speed trains pass here every day.
