AREX (Airport Railroad Express; Korean인천국제공항철도) is a South Korean airport rail link and commuter rail line that links Incheon International Airport with Seoul Station via Gimpo International Airport.

The section between the two airports opened on March 23, 2007, and the line was extended to Seoul Station on December 29, 2010.

Long-distance Korea Train Express high speed trains started to use the line from June 30, 2014, but discontinued the service in March 2018 due to low ridership.
