Line 7 (Red Line) is a rapid transit metro line of the Mumbai Metro in the city of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. When completed, the 30.08 km (18.69 mi) line will connect Bhayander with the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport with 24 stations. The line is mostly elevated except for the 2.49 km (1.55 mi) underground twin tunnels at its southern terminus.

A section of the line from Dahisar East to Aarey was opened on 2 April 2022, and another section from Aarey to Gundavli in Andheri (East) was inaugurated on 19 January 2023. An under construction 11.386 km section of Line 7, from Bhayander to Dahisar, is part of Red Line 9. A southward extension to the airport is also currently under construction.

The line is served by six-car trains, manufactured by Bharat Earth Movers Limited, with a headway of 10 minutes. Line 7 currently uses Line 2's depot at Charkop, due to an issue acquiring land for a depot. Services currently operate between Gundavali and Andheri West (on Line 2) via Dahisar East.
