Meriam kereta api, juga dipanggil meriam landasan kereta api, adalah selaras artileri besar, selalunya artileri laut lebihan, dipasang pada, diangkut oleh, dan menembak dari gerabak kereta api yang direka khas. Banyak negara telah membina meriam kereta api, tetapi yang paling terkenal ialah meriam Krupp besar yang digunakan oleh Jerman dalam Perang Dunia I dan Perang Dunia II. Meriam yang lebih kecil sering menjadi sebahagian daripada kereta api perisai. Hanya dapat digerakkan melalui landasan yang bagus, dan boleh dihancurkan oleh pengeboman artileri atau serangan udara, meriam kereta api dihapuskan selepas Perang Dunia II.
