The Iga Line (伊賀線, Iga-sen) is a railway line in Iga, Mie, Japan, operated by the third-sector railway operator Iga Railway Co., Ltd. (伊賀鉄道株式会社, Iga-tetsudō kabushiki-gaisha). The line connects Iga-Ueno Station with Iga-Kambe Station. The track and trains are owned by Iga City (as a Category 3 railway operator), while the trains are operated by Iga Railway (as a Category 2 railway operator). The line is also referred to as the Ninja Line (忍者線), with trains featuring a ninja-style livery.
