The Red Line (Portuguese: Linha Vermelha) or Orient Line (Portuguese: Linha do Oriente) is one of the four lines of the Lisbon Metro.

Serving the northeast of the city, the line was opened in May 1998, as part of the infrastructure built to serve Expo '98. In 2009, the line was extended west to connect to the Yellow and Blue lines. In 2012, the line was extended to serve Lisbon Airport.^[2]
