The Deodoro Line is a commuter rail line operated by SuperVia as part of the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Trains system. It runs from Deodoro, in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro, through the North Zone to Central do Brasil Station, in Rio de Janeiro Downtown. The route and stations are shared with the Santa Cruz and Japeri Lines. It's the busiest line in the system. Since June 2020, it has been interconnected with the Santa Cruz Line.[1]

Printed in red, it serves 19 stations, many of which are in historical and important locations. Like the other commuter rail lines, the line's name comes from its first station and terminus, Deodoro. The Deodoro line was part of the Central Line of the Central do Brasil Railway.[2]
