The Dōbutsuen line (動物園線 Dōbutsuen Sen?) is a railway line in Hino, Tokyo, Japan owned by the Keio Corporation, that runs between Takahatafudō on the Keio main line and Tama-dōbutsukōen (Tama Zoo).

Although the Tama Toshi Monorail Line covers the same route, the Dōbutsuen Line is a preferable choice for passengers from the Keiō Line due to some reasons, which may include easy transfer (or no need of transfer in case of through-running trains) at Takahatafudō and cheaper fare.

It runs on a single track of 1,372 mm gauge. The line is electrified with 1,500 V DC.
