The Titfield Thunderbolt is a 1952 film about a story of villagers trying to prevent British Railways from closing the fictional Titfield branch line.

The film was produced by Ealing Studios and starred Stanley Holloway, George Relph and John Gregson. Its director was Charles Crichton, and Michael Truman was the producer. It was the first Ealing comedy shot in Technicolor. LMR Lion starred as the Titfield Thunderbolt.

The film was written by T.E.B. Clarke and was inspired by the restoration of the narrow gauge Talyllyn Railway in Wales, claimed to be the world's first heritage railway. Shooting was largely carried out in the Cam Valley near Bath, England, on the recently closed branch line between Camerton and Limpley Stoke, formerly part of the Great Western Railway. Titfield station was in reality Monkton Combe station.
