The KTM East Coast railway line is a single-track metre gauge railway line in Malaysia that runs between Gemas in Negeri Sembilan and Tumpat in Kelantan. Gemas is the rail junction between the West Coast Line and East Coast Line. Like the West Coast Line, it is called the East Coast railway line because it serves two of Peninsular Malaysia's East Coast states, namely Pahang and Kelantan. However, it does not actually run along the coast at all and only meets the South China Sea when it terminates at Tumpat . It runs through the interior of Peninsular Malaysia, often through deep jungle, thus earning the nickname Jungle Railway. Terengganu is the only state in Peninsular Malaysia not served by the KTM railway network.

The East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) is planned to have an interchange with the East Coast Line at Mentakab and expand the railway network to the cities located in the East Coast, such as Kuantan and Kuala Terengganu.
