Aarhus Commuter Rail (Danish: Aarhus Nærbane) is a commuter rail service in and near Aarhus, Denmark.
There is one line, from Odder to Grenaa, with 33 stations. This traffic concept started in 2012, when the traffic on the two local railways Odderbanen and Grenaabanen was combined into one line, with new rolling stock. The rolling stock is Siemens Desiro diesel multiple units.
In 2016 both railways will be defined as light rail, and be equipped with electric power supply. Also, a new city tramway will be built in central Aarhus. New trams will be used for this. This concept is called Aarhus Letbane (Aarhus light rail).
