The Kippa-Ring railway line refers to the section of Queensland's North Coast Line that has a regular suburban railway service, extending north of Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia. The line commences at Roma St station, travelling through the city to Bowen Hills, including the 770m Central-Brunswick St tunnel, the longest on the QR system. It passes through Brisbane's northern suburbs to Petrie, which the line continues east to Redcliffe and connects with the Springfield line south-west of Brisbane. The line distance from Brisbane Central is 12.69 km.

Lines that branch from it are the Ferny Grove line at Bowen Hills, the Doomben and Airport lines at Eagle Junction, the Shorncliffe line at Northgate and Caboolture line at Petrie.
