The Ouachita Railroad Company (AAR reporting marks OUCH) is a Class III short-line railroad headquartered in El Dorado, Arkansas.

OUCH operates a 26.2 mile line in Arkansas and Louisiana from El Dorado (where it interchanges with Union Pacific) to Lille, Louisiana.

OUCH traffic generally consists of lumber, chemicals, and particleboard.

The line was formally part of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific until its liquidation. The line was then operated by the South Central Arkansas Railroad from 1982-1983, when it was sold to the East Camden and Highland Railroad (EACH). EACH sold the line to Arkansas Shortline Railroads, Inc., a short-line railroad holding company, in 1990.
