The Sampige line is a planned Bengaluru Suburban rail line running from KSR Bengaluru to Devanahalli and the Kempegowda International Airport. The 45 km (28 mi) long broad-gauge line was approved in 2019 and in 2024 was in the tendering process. The line which is also referred as 'corridor-1' is planned to be constructed in two phases C1A and C1B respectively.

The C1A section runs from KSR Bengaluru to Yelahanka Junction railway station. While the C1B section starts from Yelahanka Junction and ends in Devanhalli town in the north. C1B also includes a 5.5 km (3.4 mi) branch line towards the Airport. The line is named after the regional flower Sampige (Magnolia champaca) in Kannada.
