Lieråsen Tunnel is a railway tunnel on Drammenbanen between Asker Station and Lier Station in Norway. The 10,723 m long tunnel was opened in 1973 and was the longest railway tunnel in the country until Romeriksporten was opened in 1999.
After the tunnel was opened, the railway line between Asker and Spikkestad Station was kept for commuter trains, though the traffic between Spikkestad and Drammen Station was terminated.
