Line 17 of the Shanghai Metro (simplified Chinese: 上海轨道交通17号线; traditional Chinese: 上海軌道交通17號線), formerly known as the Qingpu line[1] (青浦线; 青浦線), is an east-west rapid transit line that runs between Hongqiao Railway Station in Minhang District and Oriental Land in Qingpu District. All stations are fully accessible. It is 35.3 kilometres (21.9 mi) in length with 13 stations. The line entered passenger trial operations on 30 December 2017.

It is the first metro line to primarily service the suburban Qingpu District. Metro service arrived in Qingpu in 2010 with the opening of East Xujing, the western terminus of line 2. However, this station only services an area adjacent to the district's eastern border with Minhang. Line 17 is known for its artistic elements embedded into its stations. Due to the proximity of the line to various cultural and scenic attractions, specifically the ancient water town of Zhujiajiao and Dianshan Lake, the line's theme is water towns and headstreams of Shanghai.[3] The line is colored light brown on system maps.

The line is the second line in Shanghai to use Shanghainese to announce stations.[4] It is operated by Shanghai No. 2 Metro Operation Co. Ltd. (simplified Chinese: 上海地铁二运营有限公司; traditional Chinese: 上海地鐵二運營有限公司).[5]
