The University Line was a light rail line of Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) TRAX system in Salt Lake City. It was the second TRAX line opened by UTA, after the Sandy/Salt Lake Line opened in 1999.

The original line ran from the Delta Center (now Arena) Station via University Boulevard to Stadium Station, serving Rice-Eccles Stadium on the University of Utah campus. The eastern end of the line was extended to the University Medical Center Station in 2003, and the western end was extended in 2008 to the new Salt Lake City Intermodal Hub (Salt Lake Central).

University Line service ended on August 6, 2011. Service on the eastern portion of the line was replaced by the Red Line, and the Salt Lake Central branch is now served by the Blue Line.
