The Saburtalo Line ({{lang-ka|საბურთალოს ხაზი|tr}}) is a line of the Tbilisi Metro in Georgia. The line was first opened in 1979,{{cite web |last1=Schwandl |first1=Robert |title=Tbilisi |url=https://www.urbanrail.net/as/tbil/tbilisi.htm |publisher=urbanrail}} running originally from Station Square, where Tbilisi Central Railway station is located to Delisi and has since extended to the western residential districts of the city, near Tbilisi State University’s X and XI buildings. It is a second line of the system and runs from the east and west direction of Tbilisi, in contrast to the First Line which runs north-south axis of the city. The line is named after Saburtalo,{{cite journal |last=Dala Costa |first=Augusto |date=2020 |title=Toponymy and the issues of memory and identity on the post-Soviet Tbilisi cityscape |url= |journal=Ideology and Politics Journal |volume=1 |issue=15 |doi=10.36169/2227-6068.2020.01.00007 |access-date=}} the district, and neighbourhood of Tbilisi, where 5{{efn|These are Technical University, Medical University, Delisi, Vazha-Pshavela, and State University stations.}} of 7 stations of this line are located. Alternatively, the line is being referred to simply as 2nd Line.
