The Bury Line is a light rail/tram line on the Manchester Metrolink in Greater Manchester. It runs from Manchester Victoria station to Bury Interchange in the north. The entire line runs along a converted heavy rail line, and was reopened with the Altrincham Line, another Metrolink line converted from heavy rail, as part of Phase 1 of the Metrolink's expansion.

The line connects Manchester city centre and Victoria station to the suburbs of Cheetham Hill, Crumpsall, Blackley, Prestwich, Whitefield and Radcliffe. The entire route is roughly 10 miles (16 km) long.
