The LGV Poitiers-Limoges is an approximately 100 km long French high speed rail project reserved for passenger traffic between Poitiers and Limoges. Its dual aim is:

• to ensure high-speed service of the Limoges region by extension of the LGV Sud Europe Atlantique and make possible a journey time between Paris and Limoges of about 2 hours
• to link Poitiers and Limoges in 40 minutes.

Construction should start in 2011, the line being put in revenue service in 2016.
