The {{Nihongo|Meguro Line|目黒線|Tōkyū-Meguro-sen}} is a railway line operated by Japanese private railway company Tokyu Corporation. As a railway line, the name is for the section between {{STN|Meguro|x}} and {{STN|Den-en-chōfu|x}} in southwest Tokyo, but nearly all trains run to {{STN|Hiyoshi|x|Kanagawa}} on a quad-tracked section of the Tōyoko Line in Yokohama, Kanagawa. Additionally, the Meguro line interoperates with the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line and Toei Mita Line beyond Meguro.
