A 1908 Railway Clearing House map of lines around the Addiscombe Line.

The Addiscombe Line in south east London, United Kingdom ran between Elmers End (London Borough of Bromley) and Addiscombe (London Borough of Croydon).

The line was built by the South Eastern Railway (SER) as part of its extensive competition with London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LBSCR). The line was electrified by the Southern Railway in February 1926 at 660 V (later 750 V) DC third rail.

The line closed in 1997 for the new Tramlink line from Elmers End and Beckenham Junction to Wimbledon
