The T Third Street is a Muni Metro light rail line in San Francisco, California. It runs along the east side of San Francisco from Sunnydale to Chinatown, traveling in the median of Third Street for most of its length before entering the Central Subway as it approaches downtown. The line serves 22 stations, all of which are accessible. Most of the surface portion of the line runs in dedicated median lanes, though two portions operate in mixed traffic.

Limited service began in January 2007, with full service starting in April of the same year. The line was rerouted north of 4th and King to travel through the Central Subway to Chinatown on January 7, 2023. It was the first line added to the Muni Metro system since the N Judah in 1928.
