New Transit Yurikamome, formerly the Tokyo Waterfront New Transit Waterfront Line, is an automated guideway transit service in Tokyo. It connects Shimbashi to Toyosu via the artificial island of Odaiba, a corridor in which it competes with the Rinkai Line. It is operated by Yurikamome, Inc., a third-sector subsidiary of Tokyo Rinkai Holdings, Inc. (TRHC), which itself is funded by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the largest shareholder of TRHC.

The line is named after the black-headed gull (yurikamome in Japanese), a common denizen of Tokyo Bay and the official metropolitan bird.
