The Eastern Trunk line (Chinese: 東部幹線; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tang-pō͘-kàn-soàⁿ) is a railway line of the Taiwan Railways Administration running along Taiwan's sparsely populated eastern corridor.

The concept "Eastern Line" is a combination of line sections:

Name Chinese Taiwanese Hakka Length Terminus
Yilan line 宜蘭線 Gî-lân Soàⁿ Ngì-làn Sien 93.6 km (58.2 mi) from Badu to Su'ao (via Su'aoxin)
North-link line 北迴線 Pak-hôe Soàⁿ Pet-fûi Sien 79.2 km (49.2 mi) from Su'aoxin to Hualien
Hualien–Taitung line 臺東線 Tâi-tang Soàⁿ Thòi-tûng Sien 150.9 km (93.8 mi) from Hualien to Taitung

The length of the combined line is 323.7 km (201.1 mi).
