Chengdu Metro Line 9 (simplified Chinese: 成都地铁9号线; traditional Chinese: 成都地鐵9號線) is located in Chengdu, Sichuan and forms an extension to the existing Chengdu Metro system. The line officially opened on 18 December 2020.[3]

Line 9 Phase I runs from Financial City East to Huangtianba and is envisioned to be the second loop line in Chengdu (after Line 7) in the future. Line 9's color is bright orange.[4]

It is the first ever fully automated ATO GoA 4 metro line in Chengdu.[5]

Line 9 uses high capacity Type A 8-car trains.[6] The 13 stations were designed by London-based Sepanta in collaboration with Chinese architect Jiang & Associates Design.[7]
