The Gyeonggang Line (경강선, 성남-여주선) of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway system is a major commuter rail line in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. It runs from the city of Seongnam to Yeoju City, partially coinciding with the route of the former narrow-gauge Suryeo Line. It opened to the public on September 24, 2016.

In addition to the Gyeonggang Line, a railway line from Bubal to Mungyeong, called the Central Inland Line (중부내륙선), is being constructed. Construction started in November 2015. The line is expected to open in 2019 to Chungju, and then in 2021 to Mungyeong.
