The Lecco – Colico line is a branch line in Italy . It connects the city of Lecco with the town of Colico and runs along the east coast of Lake Como .

The line was built to connect the existing Valtellina Railway to the rest of Italy's network. The Lecco - Bellano section was opened on July 1, 1892, the Bellano - Colico section on August 1, 1894.

In 1902 the line (together with the Colico – Sondrio and Colico – Chiavenna lines ) was electrified with three-phase alternating current ; it was the first high-voltage electrification in the world.

Today regional trains run on the route Calolziocorte - Lecco - Colico - Sondrio , as well as Regioexpress trains Milan - Tirano .
