The San Diego and Imperial Valley Railroad (AAR reporting marks SDIY) is a shortline operator on the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway track in the United States (the Carrizo Gorge Railway (CZRY) is the SD&AE's operator in Mexico and the Imperial Valley). The SD&IV has been owned and operated by RailAmerica since 2000; it had been previously owned by RailTex (which RailAmerica acquired) and operated with the reporting mark SDIV.

The SDIY operated at one time on two lines but today operates on only one. At one time it operated from San Diego to Plaster City via Mexico but today that line is operated by the Carrizo Gorge Railway. The SDIV still operates the San Diego to El Cajon line.

The SDIY has four locomotives although it often utilizes additional locomotives from other RailAmerica shortlines. The railroad interchanges with the BNSF Railway in San Diego.
