The Ouachita Railroad Company is a short-line railroad headquartered in El Dorado, Arkansas.
OUCH operates a 26.2 mile line in Arkansas and Louisiana from El Dorado to Lillie, Louisiana. Only the part from El Dorado to a plant south of town is in service.

The line was formerly part of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad until its liquidation. The line was then operated by the South Central Arkansas Railway from 1982-1983, when it was sold to the East Camden and Highland Railroad. EACH sold the line to Arkansas Shortline Railroads, Inc., a short-line railroad holding company, in 1990.
