Iida Line (飯田線 Iida-sen?) is a Japanese railway line between Toyohashi Station in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture and Tatsuno Station in Tatsuno, Nagano Prefecture, operated by JR Central. The line links eastern Aichi Prefecture and southern Nagano Prefecture. It goes through steep mountains as well as cities such as Iida and Ina. The line was originally four different private railway lines, the first one opened in 1897. Consequently, there are relatively many stations, some of them now lost their nearby communities. The whole trip of the 195.7 km line takes six hours.

The limited express train Inaji (伊那路?) runs between Toyohashi and Iida 2 laps a day. The rapid train Misuzu (みすず?) runs between Iida and Okaya. The line is generally divided into three parts for local services, by Hon-Nagashino and Tenryūkyō. The section near Toyohashi functions as a commuter rail for the city, while the section between Hon-Nagashino and Tenryūkyō is a mountain railway with fewer passengers.
