The Keihin Electric Express Railway Co., Ltd. (京浜急行電鉄株式会社 Keihin Kyūkō Dentetsu Kabushiki-gaisha?) (TYO: 9006), also known as Keihin Kyūkō (京浜急行?) or Keikyū (京急?), is a private railroad that connects inner Tokyo to Kawasaki, Yokohama, Yokosuka and other points on the Miura Peninsula in Kanagawa Prefecture. 京浜 (Keihin?) means Tokyo(東京) - Yokohama(横浜).

Founded in 1898, it is the third oldest private railroad company in Japan next to Kyoto Municipal (1895) and Nagoya Railways- Meitetsu (1896). It is part of the Fuyo Group (or keiretsu) and has its headquarters in Minato-ku, Tokyo.

Trains on the Main Line have a maximum operating speed of 120 km/h, making it the second fastest private railroad in the Tokyo region, after the Tsukuba Express.
