Line 12 of the Dalian Metro (Chinese: 大连地铁12号线; pinyin: Dàlián Dìtiě Shí'èr Hào Xiàn) is a rapid transit line running in northern Dalian. It opened on 1 May 2014.
The line connects central Dalian with Lüshunkou over 40.38 kilometres (25.09 mi) with 8 stations from east to west. This line begins at Hekou station and stretches southwest ending at Lüshun New Port station. Similar to Line 3, all the stations have side platforms with tracks in the platform area have no ballast (gravel); however, tracks outside the station are on ballast. Also all stations are covered by a combination of transparent corrugated sheets and a concrete roof.
In October 2017, most station names were re-translated from Pinyin into conventional English.
