The Jungang Line is a railway line connecting Cheongnyangni to Gyeongju in South Korea. Major stations along the line include:
- Cheongnyangni on the Gyeongwon Line in eastern Seoul, the starting point for passenger trains on the Jungang line;
- Yangpyeong;
- Wonju;
- Bongyang, the terminus of the Chungbuk Line;
- Jecheon, the terminus of the Taebaek Line. All Chungbuk Line trains departs from here due to the location of Bongyang Station.;
- Danyang;
- Yeongju, the terminus of the Yeongdong and Gyeongbuk Lines;
- Andong, where most passenger trains from Seoul terminate;
- Yeongcheon, the terminus of the Daegu Line; and
- Gyeongju on the Donghae Nambu Line (from Gyeongju, some trains continue south on the Donghae Nambu Line to Bujeon Station of Busan).
Before KTX era, trans-Korean Tongil-ho train was operated along Jungang and Donghae Nambu Line. Now this wearisome 12-hour train was separated into two parts.
Jungang means "central" in Korean, and describes the line's route through the mountains in the east-central part of South Korea.

In 2005, part of the Jungang Line (from Cheongnyangni to Deokso) was opened for metropolitan railroad service, substituting the section from Yongsan to Seongbuk of Gyeongwon Line, and trains now operate from Yongsan to Deokso. Metropolitan railroad service is planned to be extended to Yongmun Station, and will be opened incrementally from 2007 to 2009. The interim name for the metropolitan railroad service on the Jungang Line is called Yongsan-Deokso Line.
