Metro Line 50 (Dutch: Metrolijn 50) is a line of the Amsterdam Metro between the Isolatorweg and the Gein district in Amsterdam-Zuidoost. Although the line is a tangential line, it is also known as the Ring Line (Ringlijn), because the embankment of the Ringspoorbaan ("ring railway") is used between Sloterdijk station and the Rozenoordspoorbrug.
