The Jungang Line (Jungangseon in Korean (Hangul: 중앙선; Hanja: 中央線)) is a railway line connecting Seoul to Gyeongju in South Korea. Major stations along the line include:

• Cheongnyangni on the Gyeongwon Line in eastern Seoul, the starting point for passenger trains on the Jungang line;
• Wonju;
• Bongyang, the terminus of the Chungbuk Line;
• Jecheon, the terminus of the Taebaek Line;
• Yeongju, the terminus of the Yeongdong and Gyeongbuk Lines;
• Andong, where most passenger trains from Seoul terminate;
• Yeongcheon, the terminus of the Daegu Line; and
• Gyeongju on the Donghae Nambu Line.

From Gyeongju, some trains continue south on the Donghae Nambu Line to Busan.
