The Gamlebyen Line (Norwegian: Gamlebylinjen) was a section of the Oslo Tramway which ran east from Jernbanetorget along Schweigaards gate (street), past the Bjørvika then turns south along Oslo gate, and past Gamlebyen before becoming the Ekeberg Line. The section was served by lines 18 and 19 before it was replaced by Bjørvika Line since October 2020.
