加拿大维亚铁路有限公司英语法语:Via Rail Canada Inc.;简称:Via (Rail),发音发音: /ˈviə/)是加拿大一家提供长途和城际客运铁路服务的国有企业。2011年,维亚铁路提供的客运铁路服务达每周497班,全年运载的乘客量达410万人次[1]

加拿大国内的客运铁路服务过去一直主力由加拿大太平洋铁路Canadian Pacific Railway, CP)和加拿大国家铁路Canadian National Railway, CN)提供。然而,踏入1950年代,航空业在长途客运市场所占的比率逐步上升,而随着各地公路网逐步发展以及私家车渐趋普及,中短途铁路的乘客当中也有不少改为自行开车,客运铁路业两面受敌的局面亦告展开。到了1960和70年代,CP和CN更打算放弃客运业务,改为专注发展货运业务[3]

1976年,CN将旗下的客运铁路服务分拆成子公司“Via CN”;名称里的拉丁字“Via”在英语和法语(即加拿大的两种官方语言)中皆可应用,因此被CN的公关部门接纳[4]。1978年4月1日,维亚正式脱离CN,成为一家独立的国有企业[5],再于同年10月29日接管CP的客运铁路服务[6]
