The Nairobi airport rail link is an infrastructure project in Nairobi, in Kenya.

The government of Kenya has proposed a rapid rail connection between Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and central Nairobi. As of October 2010, construction was under way, and tenders had been awarded. The project costs 800 million shillings ($US9.13m), and involves 2 km of new rail to connect to the existing railway at Embakasi

## Stations

The line will likely begin at the existing Nairobi Railway Station along an existing line to and a 2 km extension to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

There are number of stations and stops along the current rail route to Embakasi:

* Makadara Railway Station - existing station
* Donholm Rail Stop - minor stop
* Stage MPYA Rail Stop - minor stop
* Pipeline Rail Stop - minor stop
* Embakasi Railway Station - existing station

Both Makadara and Embakasi stations will be rebuilt for airport link and all other stops either removed or rebuilt.
