The Zutphen–Glanerbeek railway is a railway line in the Netherlands running from Zutphen to the German border at Glanerbrug, passing through Hengelo and Enschede. It is also called the Staatslijn D ("state line D") in Dutch. "Glanerbeek" is the former name for the Glanerbrug railway station. The line was opened between 1865 and 1868. The section between Enschede and the German border was closed for traffic in 1981, but it was reopened in 2001, although physically disconnected from the Dutch railway network; no Dutch train can enter this stretch and trains coming from Germany can not enter the Dutch network through Enschede.
