Odderbanen, formerly also known as Hads-Ning Herreders Jernbane (HHJ), is a Danish railway line in East Jutland, between Aarhus and Odder. The line was established in 1884, and used to be operated by the company A/S Hads-Ning Herreders Jernbane, which was merged with VLTJ into Midtjyske Jernbaner in 2008.[1] From 2012 the traffic is called Aarhus Nærbane, operated by DSB.

The line is to be adapted for Aarhus Letbane electric tram-train services from 2016.[2]
