The Namdong Line was a non-electrified secondary railway line of the Korean State Railway in South P'yŏngan Province, North Korea, from P'yŏngnam Onch'ŏn on the P'yŏngnam Line to Namdong, where it connected to the (now closed) Namdong Branch of the Sŏhae Line.^[1]

The line was closed sometime after 1990. The tracks, as well as some of the bridges, have since been removed, and in places the right of way is in use as roadway.
