The Gyeongbu Line (KTX) is the high-speed railway between Seoul and Busan in South Korea. The line, which takes its name from the adjacent normal railway of the same name, is reserved for KTX trains only. Currently, KTX trains travelling between Dongdaegu and Busan use the normal Gyeongbu Line, though an adjacent high speed line is under construction and is expected to open in 2010.

The following is a list of the stations on the high-speed Gyeongbu Line from north to south.

Note that though Yongsan Station is on this line, the only KTX trains which call there are those on the Honam Line.
