The Map'yŏng Line is a non-electrified railway line of the Korean State Railway in T'aech'ŏn County, North P'yŏngan Province, North Korea, running from P'arwŏn on the Ch'ŏngnyŏn P'arwŏn Line to Hwŏnhwa.^[1]

The line formerly continued from Hwŏnhwa to past the site of the T'aech'ŏn nuclear reactor, but that section was abandoned after construction of the reactor was halted in 1994;^[2] the line had also continued further on to Map'yŏng to assist with the construction of the large Taech'ŏn No. 2 Hydroelectric Power Station further up the Taeryŏng River.
