Line 1, also known as Bến Thành – Suối Tiên Line, is a rapid transit line of the HCMC Metro in Vietnam. It is the city's first metro line and the nation's first underground metro line, connecting District 1, Bình Thạnh, and Thủ Đức City.

Construction began in 2012, with an initial completion date set for 2018. However, the project's completion was delayed multiple times. The line was officially opened for service on 22 December 2024.

Ticket prices will range from 7,000–20,000 VND (US$0.27–0.79) per trip or 6,000–19,000 VND (US$0.20–0.75) for cashless payments.

From the planning in 2024, Line 1 will be extended from Ben Thanh station to An Ha Depot, bringing the total length this Line to 40.8 km.
