Annandale was a line operated by the Pacific Electric Railway from 1902 to 1928. The line from the Pacific Electric Building at 6th and Main streets in Downtown Los Angeles to the town of Annandale (later part of Pasadena), specifically at the intersection of Avenue 64 and La Loma Street. It split from the Pasadena via Oak Knoll line at Roble Avenue and Avenue 64.

There was an early plan to extend the line to Downtown Pasadena by way of West California Boulevard (where a local line was already running). Connections between Los Angeles and Pasadena were limited by topography, and the three existing lines were all very heavily used.

The line was abandoned in 1928.
