Santiago Metro Line 4 is one of the seven lines that currently make up the Santiago Metro network in Santiago, Chile. It has 23 stations and 23.9 km (14.9 mi) of track. The line intersects with Line 1 at Tobalaba, with Line 3 at Plaza Egaña at northeast, and with Line 4A at Vicuña Mackenna and with Line 5 at Vicente Valdés in southeast. It will also intersect with the futures Line 8 at Macul and Line 9 at Plaza de Puente Alto. Its distinctive colour on the network line map is blue.

Currently, it is the only line in the system to leave the Santiago Province, serving Puente Alto in the Cordillera Province.

In 2015, Line 4 accounted for 18.1% of all trips made on the metro system with a ridership of 328,200.

In October 2019, the line suspended operations as a result of the 2019 Santiago protests,[1] however by 2020 all of its stations have reopened.
