The Palamutluk–Balya–Mancılık railway (Turkish: Palamutluk–Balya–Mancılık dekovil hattı) was a 97.5-kilometre (60.6 mi), horse-drawn, narrow-gauge railway in Balıkesir Province, western Turkey. The line used the Decauville system of portable track units and was built to link coal and lead mines to the coast for export. When completed the line ran from the lignite mine near Mancılık to the galena mines at Balya and then turned southwest to run through the village of Osmanlar to a terminus at Palamutluk. From Palamutluk, ore could be carried via road on horse carts to wharfs on the Gulf of Edremit. In 1923, the Palamutluk–Balya railway was linked to the Ilıca–Palamutluk railway, which replaced horse carts in transporting the ore to the coast.
