The Tōkyū Tamagawa Line (東急多摩川線 Tōkyū Tamagawa-sen?) is a commuter railway line of Japanese private railway operator Tokyu Corporation. It runs between Tamagawa and Kamata in southwest Tokyo, entirely within Ōta ward. The operator's name, Tōkyū, is included in the formal name of this line.

It was formed in 2000 from the western portion of the Mekama Line, which was then rerouted west of Tamagawa (former Tamagawa-en) station and renamed the Meguro Line.
