The Blue Line is an electric rapid transit line that runs in Lagos, Nigeria. It is part of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit system run by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority.

The first phase with five stations and 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) of track opened on 4 September 2023. The full line is set to be 27 kilometres (17 mi) and is expected to carry 500,000 passengers a day.

The line's trains are made by CRRC Dalian and based on Chinese Type B trains from Tianjin Metro Line 2. They have a maximum speed of 100 km/h, although they will only operate at 80 km/h.
