The Tokyo Metro Namboku Line (東京地下鉄南北線 Tōkyō Chikatetsu Nanboku-sen?) is a subway line, part of the Tokyo Metro system in Tokyo, Japan. The name of the route means South-North Line, and it runs from Meguro Station in the south through 17 intermediate stations to Akabane-Iwabuchi Station in the north. The Namboku Line's color on maps is emerald green. Its stations carry the letter N followed by a number. The planning line number for the Namboku Line is Line 7.

The 21.3 km Namboku Line is Tokyo Metro's newest line, featuring advanced technology including full automatic train operation and platform doors. The first segment from Komagome to Akabane-Iwabuchi opened on November 29, 1991, with further openings in stages until the completion of the last stretch to Meguro on September 26, 2000.

Namboku Line trains also interoperate with the Tokyu Meguro Line past Meguro Station, and with Saitama Rapid Railway Line past Akabane-Iwabuchi Station.
