Love on a Branch Line is a 1959 comic novel by John Hadfield. It involved Jasper Pye, a diffident member of the British Civil Service being sent to Arcady Hall in Norfolk to close down a government department there. He finds it to be a rural idyll, and encounters a number of problems with closing the place down.

The book was critically acclaimed and sold very well. It was adapted for a 1994 BBC television series, Love on a Branch Line, starring Michael Maloney as Jasper Pye and Leslie Phillips as Lord Flamborough.
