KLIA Transit is a rail service linking Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, and the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) operated by Express Rail Link Sdn Bhd (ERL). It shares the same tracks as the KLIA Ekspres but unlike the direct airport express service, KLIA Transit stops at three other stations.

Both KLIA Transit and KLIA Ekspres services are often referred to by Malaysians simply as ERL.

Check-in facilities are not available at KLIA Transit stations. However, passengers holding KLIA Transit tickets are allowed to check-in luggage for several airlines at the KL CAT in KL Sentral.
