Beijing–Binhai intercity railway (abbreviated as Jingbin intercity railway), formerly known as the Second Beijing–Tianjin intercity railway, is a high-speed railway connecting the municipalities of Beijing and Tianjin. The western section of the railway is built as part of the Beijing–Tangshan intercity railway. From Baodi railway station onwards, the railway will branch south along new trackage to Binhai West railway station in Binhai New Area of Tianjin.

Together with the Beijing–Tangshan intercity railway, this railway forms part of a proposed regional 4 North-South lines, 4 East-West lines that together form a network for fast commuter services across the densely populated Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei area.
