The Hisatsu Line (肥薩線 Hisatsu-sen?) is a railway line in Kyūshū, a Japanese island in the south. The line passes through Kumamoto, Miyazaki, and Kagoshima prefectures. It is part of the Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu) system. The line goes from the Kagoshima Main Line in Yatsushiro to the Nippō Main Line in Hayato station in Kirishima.

Major part of the line is in the mountainous Kirishima range. No through trains is operated on this line. Rather, trains go from Yatsushiro to Hitoyoshi, from Hitoyoshi to Yoshimatsu, and from Yoshimatsu to Hayato. Until 2000, some trains had been from Kumamoto to Miyazaki that followed the section of the Hisatsu Line from Yatsushiro to Yoshimatsu.
