The Ōito Line (大糸線 Ōito-sen) is a railway line which runs from Matsumoto Station in Nagano Prefecture to Itoigawa Station in Niigata Prefecture, Japan.
There are two operators on the line: East Japan Railway Company (JR East) operates the section south of Minami-Otari Station in Otari, Nagano Prefecture, and West Japan Railway Company (JR West) operates the remaining section.

The section between Matsumoto and Shinano-Ōmachi was built between 1915 and 1916 by Shinano Railway (信濃鉄道 Shinano Tetsudō), which was purchased by the national government in 1937 and is not the same entity as the present Shinano Railway. The rest of the line was built by the Japanese Government Railways and the Japanese National Railways between 1929 and 1957. When the Japanese National Railways was privatized in 1987, the line was assigned to the present two operators.
All stations are within Nagano Prefecture.
