The M1, also known as the Narlıdere Kaymakamlık–Evka 3 Line ({{langx|tr|Narlıdere Kaymakamlık–Evka 3 Hattı}}), is the only active line of the İzmir Metro in İzmir, Turkey. The {{convert|27|km|mi}} line runs from Narlıdere Kaymakamlık station in the west to Evka 3 station in the east, consisting of 24 stations. Construction of the first stage of line began in 1992 and was completed in 2000, consisting of 10 initial stations.
Further extensions of the line since 2005 have been plagued by repeated construction delays and re-awarding of tenders. An eastern extension in 2012 and two western extensions in 2014 and 2024 added another two, five and seven stations to the line respectively. Plans exist for a further extension to Güzelbahçe in future.
All stations on the M1 are handicapped accessible. The line runs almost completely underground with the exception of six stations.

In March 2005, a tender was awarded for the Üçyol–Fahrettin Altay section, a {{Convert|5.2|km|abbr=on}} extension to the west consisting of six new stations. The foundation of the extension was laid three months later and tunneling works commenced on 5 July 2005, with the extension slated to be completed in two years. However, when the contractor failed to fulfill their obligations, the İzmir Metropolitan Municipality sent a cease and desist letter to the company on 14 February 2006, subsequently cancelling the tender in November 2006.{{cite news |title=İzmirlinin bitmeyen metro çilesi |url=https://www.evrensel.net/haber/194108/izmirlinin-bitmeyen-metro-cilesi |access-date=30 April 2021 |publisher=Evrensel}} A new tender was announced on 23 January 2007 with an aim complete the extension by 31 October 2008.{{cite web|title=Ekim'de Metro Atağı|url=https://www.izmirmetro.com.tr/Haberler/260|access-date=30 April 2021|website=www.izmirmetro.com.tr|publisher=İzmir Metro A.Ş.}} The tender was cancelled on 13 August 2009 after the contractor requested a 15-month extension.{{cite web |title=Üçyol-Üçkuyular hattı bitmiyor |trans-title=Üçyol-Üçkuyular line does not end |lang=tr |url=http://mimdap.org/2009/05/ucyol-uckuyular-hatty-bitmiyor/ |website=mimdap.org |access-date=30 April 2021}}

Work on the Bornova–Bornova Merkez extension on the M1's eastern axis started in 2007. However, the section between Evka 3 and Bornova Merkez stations was delayed after the contractor company refused to do construction drawings. Constructing the section would have risked building damage as it was discovered during excavations that the soil contained clay and sand. The construction was fully stopped in 2008 after the contractor could not finish the extension and requested an additional year, which was rejected.{{cite news |url=http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/buyuksehir-tunel-icin-dugmeye-basti-27347619 |title=Büyükşehir tünel için düğmeye bastı |trans-title=Metropolitan pressed the button for the tunnel |lang=tr |work=Hürriyet |date=8 October 2014 |access-date=3 January 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160314014915/http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/buyuksehir-tunel-icin-dugmeye-basti-27347619 |archive-date=14 March 2016 |url-status=live}} A new tender was issued in October 2009 to finish the remaining work.
