The Gyeongchun Line (Gyeongchunseon) is a railway line connecting Seoul to Chuncheon in South Korea. The line is operated by the Korean National Railroad. The name of the line came from Gyeongseong (meaning Seoul) and Chuncheon. A frequent passenger service operates between Cheongnyangni Station on the Gyeongwon Line in eastern Seoul and Chuncheon.

Many parts of the line are under construction for electrification and double-tracking. The part from Seongbuk Station to Toegyewon Station, will be moved for the connection to Jungang Line by 2009.

Chungcheon Station is temporarily closed and will reopen in 2010.
