The Blue Line is a planned rapid transit line of the Dubai Metro in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It will be the third metro line in the city, after the Red and Green lines, with a total length of 30 kilometres and 14 stations, connecting the neighbourhoods of Ras Al Khor Industrial Area, Al Warqaa, Mirdif, Dubai Creek Harbour, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai Academic City, and Dubai International City. The line will have interchanges with existing and future metro lines and with the Etihad Rail network.

There is a transfer station with the Green Line at Creek station and one with the Red Line at Centrepoint. Additionally, International City 1 is an interchange station between the Creek and Centrepoint branches. The Blue Line has its main depot at Al Ruwayyah 3.

The project was approved by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on 24 November 2023, with a total investment of AED 18 billion. It is expected to be operational by 2029. The project aims to enhance the public transport system in Dubai and support the economic and social development of the city. The project will also serve the expected increase in the number of visitors and residents in Dubai. The project will be implemented by the Roads & Transport Authority (RTA), in collaboration with the private sector.
