The Eastern Line in Auckland, New Zealand, is the name given to suburban train services that operate between Waitematā and Manukau via Glen Innes and Panmure. Services are operated by Auckland One Rail under the Auckland Transport brand.

In December 2014, all Eastern Line train services began terminating at Manukau, rather than alternating between Manukau and Papakura. Electrification of the Auckland suburban network was completed in July 2015, and all passenger services on this line are electrified.

On 20 March 2023, Orakei, Meadowbank, Glen Innes, Panmure and Sylvia Park stations were closed due to Stage 2 of the Rail Network Rebuild, with buses replacing trains on this line between Ōtāhuhu and Britomart. The line reopened on 15 January 2024.
