[[File:Metro Manila rail network.svg|thumb|System map of the Metro Manila railway system.]]Rail transportation in the Greater Manila Area is a major part of the [[Transportation in Metro Manila|transportation system]] in Metro Manila and [[Greater Manila Area|its surrounding areas]]. It consists of the [[Manila Light Rail Transit System]], [[Manila Metro Rail Transit System]], and the [[PNR Metro Commuter Line]]. As of 2021, the three systems and its four operational lines combined has [[List of rail transit stations in the Greater Manila Area|82 stations]], covering a total of {{convert|113.3|km|mi|1|abbr=on}}. The network makes up the majority of active railways in the country and bear the brunt of providing the metropolis with rail as a faster alternative mode of transport other than [[bus]]es and [[jeepney]]s. However, these systems are currently insufficient for the rapidly expanding metropolis; to address this, new lines and line extensions are under construction, which will extend the system far out into neighboring regions.<ref name=":23">{{Cite web |last=Times |first=The Manila |date=March 9, 2021 |title=Praiseworthy progress in commuter rail infrastructure |url=https://www.manilatimes.net/2021/03/09/opinion/editorial/praiseworthy-progress-in-commuter-rail-infrastructure/848945 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210324073538/https://www.manilatimes.net/2021/03/09/opinion/editorial/praiseworthy-progress-in-commuter-rail-infrastructure/848945/ |archive-date=March 24, 2021 |access-date=July 13, 2021 |website=The Manila Times |language=en}}</ref>
