The Sunbury railway line is a greater-metropolitan subsection of the Bendigo line in Victoria, Australia. It is incorporated into Melbourne's suburban railway network and has 2 stations, both in Metcard ticketing Zone 2. The line continues from the Sydenham line with all services departing from Southern Cross Station in the CBD.

Tenders have recently been released for the electrification of the rail line from Watergardens (Sydenham) to Sunbury for Connex suburban services to run there, with the completion of the project believed to be set for 2011/12.^{[citation needed]}
