The Meishō Line (名松線, Meishō-sen^?) is a railway line of Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) in Mie Prefecture, Japan, from Matsusaka and Ise-Okitsu stations.

The name takes the kanji characters from the cities of Nabari (名張, Nabari^?) and Matsusaka (松阪, Matsusaka^?). Though this line was planned to connect them, the section from Ise-Okitsu to Nabari was never built, due in preceding completion of present Kintetsu Osaka Line.
