Vine City is a station in the MARTA rail system. The area it serves, also called Vine City, was mostly industrial in the early 20th century being just south of Atlanta's largest power plant, the Davis Street Plant and homes associated with that but as of 2006, some of the areas west of Northside Drive are largely abandoned and primed for redevelopment.

Vine City is often used as an alternate station when visiting the Georgia Dome, as the station is about a block west of the Dome itself.
