Santiago Metro Line 4A is one of the seven lines that currently make up the Santiago Metro network in Santiago, Chile. It has six stations and 7.7 km (4.8 mi) of track. The line intersects with Line 2 at La Cisterna, and with Line 4 at Vicuña Mackenna, both being its termini. It will also intersect with the future Line 9 at Santa Rosa station and acts as a link between these two lines. Its distinctive colour on the network line map is light blue.

In 2015, Line 4A accounted for only 3.1% of all trips made on the metro system with a daily ridership of 56,400; it is the least used line in the system since it does not serve the city centre, as well as being the shortest line in the system.
