The Kamiiida Line (上飯田線, Kamiiida-sen) is a subway line in Nagoya, Japan, part of the Nagoya Municipal Subway system. It runs betweenKamiiida and Heian-dōri, both in Kita Ward, Nagoya, and operates, with through service, as an extension to connect the Meitetsu Komaki Line to the City's Meijō Line. The Kamiiida Line's color on maps is pink and stations are labeled with the prefix "K". Officially, the line is called the Nagoya City Rapid Railway Line 7 (名古屋市高速度鉄道第7号線, Nagoya-shi Kōsokudo Tetsudō Dai-nana-gō-sen). All stations accept manaca, a rechargeable contactless smart card, and other major Japanese IC cards.

After the abolishment of Nagoya Municipal Tramway in the 1970s, Kamiiida Station, the terminus of Meitetsu's Komaki Line, lost its connection to Nagoya's other railway lines. The Kamiida Line, serving as link with only two stops officially on the line, was opened in 2003.[citation needed]

There is a future plan to extend the line, but the plan is currently[when?] suspended.[citation needed]
