The Ann Arbor Railroad (AAR reporting marks AA), historically, was an American railroad that operated between Toledo, Ohio, and Elberta and Frankfort, Michigan, (approximately 294 route miles) with carferry operations across Lake Michigan. The Ann Arbor ceased operations as a railroad on April 1, 1976, but various operations have continued use of the name to the present. As of 2007, Ann Arbor Acquisition Corp. operates between Toledo and Ann Arbor, Michigan, while Great Lakes Central Railroad Inc. operates the remainder from Ann Arbor to Yuma, Michigan. Some sections have been abandoned: from Yuma to Elberta and Frankfort (approximately 45 miles), about 10 miles in Shiawassee County, Michigan (in 3 discontinuous sections), and the trackage around the now-demolished Cherry Street Station in Toledo.

The Ann Arbor also operated a subsidiary, the Manistique and Lake Superior Railroad (M&LS), for many years until the M&LS was abandoned in 1968.
