Meitetsu Panorama Super ( Left ) & Airport Train μ-Sky ( Right )
Meitetsu 7000 series "Panorama Car" train

Nagoya Railroad Co., Ltd. (名古屋鉄道株式会社 Nagoya Tetsudō Kabushiki-gaisha?) TYO: 9048, often abbreviated as Meitetsu (名鉄?), is a railroad company operating around Aichi Prefecture and Gifu Prefecture of Japan.

Some of the most famous trains operated by Nagoya Railroad include the Panorama Car and the Panorama Car Super, both of which offer views through their wide front windows. While the Panorama Super train is used extensively for the railroad's limited express service, the older and more energy-consuming Panorama Car train has already been retired, the last run was on 27 December 2008. In the Tōkai region around Nagoya, it is a central firm of the Meitetsu Group, which is involved in the transportation industry, the retail trade, the service industry, and the real estate industry, etc.

Meiji Mura is the corporate museum of Nagoya Railroad.
