The Osich'ŏn Line was a non-electrified railway line of the Korean State Railway in Unhŭng County, Ryanggang Province, North Korea, running from Taeoch'ŏn on the Paektusan Ch'ŏngnyŏn Line to Osich'ŏn.

The branch line to Kim Jong-un's private railway station, called "Hyesan No. 1 Station", diverges from the main line of the Paektusan Ch'ŏngnyŏn Line at almost the same point as the Osich'ŏn Line.
